What in the slop?

"The data to ink ratio is the ratio of data to ink. The data to ink ratio can be increased by decreasing the amount of ink. Decreasing the ink, while keeping the data constant, will increase the data to ink ratio. Here, we decreased the amount of ink in the diagram, and you can readily see that the data to ink ratio went up. The data to ink ratio should be increased, except when it shouldn't."

I don't see that text anywhere in the article.

It sounds like you're parodying the article but putting it in quotes is misleading.
