I've been running into Pine Mountain Group for many years and slightly
know 
the founder Bill Alderson. They do good work and they do know their
stuff. 
I doubt they actually made this mistake, but if they did, then it's just
a 
mistake of overgeneralizing. Perhaps they only have 2 categories,
broadcast 
and unicast, and don't consider multicasts.

I know I'm normally the one to get all outraged by stupid mistakes, but 
until we can actually see a URL that points to a mistake made by Pine 
Mountain Group, we should reserve judgement. I can't find anything on
their 
Web site that says that BPDUs, CDP, or HSRP hellos go to a broadcast
rather 
than a multicast. In fact, I can't find anything on their site at all
that 
doesn't require a login! ;-)
