You're arguing for the sake of arguing. The developing weaknesses in SHA-1 don't make it a poor password hash. That's an irrelevant factoid you threw in to cloud the argument.

Pick a number of passwords to lose from a table. Hash them with any of the SHA-3 contestants and a "salt": you will lose more. Hash them with bcrypt, you will lose less.

Again I'm left asking you: what's your point? What are you trying to prove? That you know that there's a SHA-3 contest? You haven't refuted anything this article says; in fact, you keep accidentally managing to validate it.
