Okay, so I just read the short article. He doesn't really "blame" the 
synthetic oil. In the first sentence he states how you should not convert an 
old engine to synthetic without flushing the engine of old oil deposits. He 
blames the breakdown on the driving habits and maintenance schedule more than 
the oil. While the synthetic may have broken up the deposits, it didn't put 
them there.

At least that is how I read it.
