The piece ends with a paragraph claiming preventing packet loss is addressing a more fundamental problem which contributes to bufferbloat. As long as the writer and readers believe packet loss is an unmitigated evil, the battle is lost. More encouraging would have been a statement that packet loss is preferable to excessive queueing and a required TCP feedback signal when ECN isn't in play.
