People hate on Reddit but this is why I love Reddit, I got the answer in a few seconds as opposed to the original article pontificating and padding forever about it.
It's not an article. Its a transcript of an entertaining educational video on one of the best engineering youtube channels in the world and a gift to society. It says that it's a transcript at the top of the text for goodness sake.
That's a bit uncharitable towards the article. If you're just looking to answer a question as simply as possible, you're going to want a different source than if you're curious about the background and history of something.
I didn't think so; I also tried to read the article, but spreading out a 20 word answer over what seemed like 2000 words of navel-gazing got me out of there in a hurry.
