I love the article.

Personally, I think we should let human movement calibrate the core muscles. Walking, jogging, and cleaning up around the house are my favourite core exercises.

This might not work for high-performance athletes who (probably) need a trainer to fine-tune their core muscles (almost muscle by muscle) for the demands that they place on their bodies. I think the result of programs like this is better performance at the micro level but much greater susceptibility to injuries through core muscle balance issues (which I think the article correctly focuses on).
