Have you read the rest of the article? I have been busy and only got up to page 4.

I skimmed through it. There is some less than accurate info but not to much to be harmful. It really looked to me the guy just read a bunch forums on water cooling and blobbed it all together collecting some of the garbage along the way. I doubt he is much into real water cooling. He obviously does not know a lot about the real history of water cooling.
Overall not to bad I guess. I think someone really interested in water cooling would eventually sort out some of not so accurate stuff in there. The one's not so interested it wouldn't matter much.
One thing that really sticks out though on page 5 (of freaking 16 pages) is this:

There is also a real performance advantage in keeping your tubings short, especially from the pump to the water block. I recorded a temperature reduction of 5°C just by doing so.

It takes a lot of tubing to raise temps 5C. My guess is he shortened the tubing and lessened some pressure of the water block making it seat better or something. I dropped 4 feet of tubing on my test bench once and seen less than 1C difference.
