There are many ways to defur a feline, and I tend to think that this article generalizes things too much, then giving it a flat "no" answer.

What I mean is that though your site ranks well with awful code doesn't mean that code to content ratios don't have anything at all to do with it.

Let me give you a for instance.  2+2=4 but the same can be said of 1+3.  It still equals four, even though the first column has a weaker number. 

Could the same be true in code to content?  Perhaps other aspects are carrying the site to it's top position, rather than blanket statements claiming that the code has nothing to do with it's placement.

Just my two cents.
