 You can fool some of the people, some of the time has been the

Shrug, that includes Buddhist in asian countries, of course, who are far less 
knowledgeable than you are, apparently.

This article is a sales job, not a real analysis of the similarities and
dissimilarities.

There are different styles of Buddhist meditation, from Mahayana
shamata-style of outright concentration practice to effortless breath
awareness meditations. One stream goes from Satipattana Vipassana to
Mahamudra to Dzogchen. Another stream is Rinzai great questioning/great
doubt vs Soto Shikan Taza (Just Sitting). Another is a combination of
Pure Land Great Faith recitation and no object contemplation of
Chinese Chan Mo-Zhao Silent Illumination style. Then there is Tibetan
Tantric Deity-Mandala meditation: Kye-Rim/Dzog-Rim.

Simplistic articles just don't advance anyone's understanding.
