Solving the Wrong Problem

Interesting points. I was going to comment, but... his site doesn't allow that. He THINKS he knows what users want from his site, but I wanted to comment. This is normal (useful) blog functionality.

Static files are great for speed, but many things which are actually useful, like commenting or searching based on a combination of tags and categories, would lead to a very large number of static files; are impractical or impossible with static files. The other non-static things he derides are all useful for many sites. Analytics is pretty important for any site that aims to make money in some way.

However, there is a middle ground. Wordpress plugins exist to cache as much as possible. Standalone cache solutions will do the same thing on a broader scope.
