Next time you don't read an article, please keep it to yourself.

I think you got the wrong end of the stick with that guideline. It's intended for folks who accuse others of not having read the article, not for self admission that one didn't read the article. Also the article is behind a paywall and even with all my own usual tricks I can't get at it to read in any sensible way (even archive.is).

In this case the article's topic is fairly obvious that you could legitimately comment here.

It seems unfair if you can accuse yourself of not having read the article but not someone else.

archive.org works fine for it for me. Does the following work for you?

How odd, my first attempt with archive.org didn't work (I got a blank page).

Seems to work now, thank you.
