Really? http://fuhm.net/super-harmful/
Hmmm.
I've just counted more than 1600 usages of super in my
sandbox. And all my tests pass.
How does that square with the title of the rant you quote:

Although the rest of super-harmful is slightly better than the
title, the premise of James Knight is utterly wrong:

happens with any method-- Christian Tanzer http://www.c-tanzer.at/
