I don't think Larry meant it from a software-engineering point of view,
because from that point of view it doesn't make much difference. He probably
meant it from a management point-of-view where inferior technology means
that it promotes unwanted types of articles.

That's because Jimbo was running an older version of PHP. Inferior
technology, if you will. :-) I don't see the error now so I assume he has
updated it.
