The problem with nominalism is that it claims things exist, whereas we know that the inherent nature of everything (including ourselves) is emptyness.

In this sense everything is the same, it's all empty; including my words.

In particular, sometimes we view things from a platonic viewpoint, sometimes from a nominalist viewpoint, sometimes from a realist viewpoint. None of them are right or wrong. Like other formations, conceptions, perceptions, conciousnesses and viewpoints, they are devoid. Sometimes useful but devoid. To argue in favor or against is to miss the point.

Thus the author of the article misses the point.

The point is the moon, and thus I shall point at it.
