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.
