This article actually explains how this bug in particular could have been avoided. Sure you may not consider his approach realistic, but it's not at all saying "don't have bugs". In fact, not having formal verification or similar tooling in place, would be more like saying "just don't write buggy code".

Not really. The article is a textbook example of hindsight bias. It's a simplistic analysis of a far more complex problem that goes over the blogger's head, and results in a string of simplistic assertions that fail to address any of the issues.
