Ya, their logic throughout the article makes no sense. It relies upon the logic that the BIP-110 hardfork chain holds any merit for my consideration. It doesn't. Nobody cares about it. If one of my channel peers forks off, so be it. I'll keep monitoring the actual bitcoin chain for any activity with my channels and thus my channel funds will remain safe. The risk of lightning loss remains the same, regardless of any chain split here. As long as my node is online and monitoring the chain I care about, there isn't any risk to my funds that I hold the keys to.
As always with lightning, if you're managing a healthy, always-on, node with proper channel backups, you funds will be safe.
BIP-110'ers, even in the 11th hour are desperate to make it seem like their hard fork has any chance of success or has any value worth considering. Reality is that it will come to pass and be forever forgotten.
