I do not believe that most of these `perfectionists` are trolls. Some have just very bad experiences either in their career or childhood that make them feel that making mistakes is not normal.

I was a `perfectionist` for a while due to certain bad experiences at work, and it was only through the help of really good teammates that I was able to slowly get rid of it. And that required pointing out things like what the author has done in their blog post and once someone sees that mistakes are things that anyone could make, they get more comfortable the concept.

The harder part is understanding why a perfectionist is so, and then not getting frustrated while you try to help them improve.
