The article lists some very valid arguments, but those (and many others) have been discussed ad-nauseum for decades, quite literally. But the point that no sound source is stereo - all natural sounds are point sources - is well understood. You cannot recreate the natural imaging with stereo and, in fact, it creates problems with monaural sound because of comb filtering.
What stereo does is to allow a good illusion to be created. That's the point. Same could be said of multi-channel sound: Even five or seven channels isn't enough to create a true representation of the localization of sound sources, but it does help to create a realistic illusion.
