Mike J is a good, persuasive writer, and talks a lot of sense, but what makes you think he's done any testing? This comment from the article seems to be the best he's got, and it makes no more sense than any other internet blowhard on the subject: "Otherwise, why pay for an excellent modern lens and put another sheet of glass over it? Would you be happy shooting all your pictures through a windowpane?" It discredits the whole article.
