I disagree, in my view they do not inherently give off such vibes at all. In this post for example, they specifically broach the topic like so:
> There are a lot of assumptions one could make when designing data types and schemas for aviation data that turn out to be inaccurate.
Sounds like a pretty explicit acknowledgement of the notion that these are otherwise reasonable assumptions that just happen to fail when put to the test, I'd say.
It's very easy to self-deprecate, especially if one has insecurities. But that doesn't mean that articles like this actually mean to do so. I think it's worthwhile for everyone involved to always evaluate whether the feeling is actually coming from the source you're looking at, or if that source just happened to trigger it inside you. More often than not, in my anecdotal experience, it's the latter.
I'd also find it interesting to learn what happens when these falsehoods nonetheless make it into an implementation though.
