> Sometimes it's worth the trade...other times it's not.
That's exactly what the article disputes - "It's not worth the trade if you had 3 of those already".
Sure, you could drown in meaningless (for your project) new technologies, and this is a risk you should be aware of. If that's the meaning of the article that you are referring to, I agree it is sane (and also wildly accepted). But that's not what the article actually says. What it says is that you get a superficial number of shots at new technologies, and that number is limited by time/growth.
