I agree. This isn't even a good one of those lists. It's more like "dubious pedantry to make me feel smart about my TCP knowledge".
1-4. Yes we know about the 2 generals problem. And yes we know what "reliable" means in this context.
5-6. This is just stupid.
7. Obviously not true. Nobody thinks this.
8-9. The reasons for and flaws of Nagle's algorithm are well known.
10. This isn't even true. Most of the time you don't need to care about it. That's the whole point of abstraction. You need to care about it if you are doing extensive performance optimisation, but usually you aren't.
11. Again untrue. You can think of TCP as a two way pipe. Again that's the whole point of abstraction.
12. Not sure exactly what they're trying to say here but again it's very well known that TCP and UDP are pretty much the only protocols that are likely to work on the internet.
13. Ditto. We all know why so many protocols are "over HTTPS", e.g. DoH.
14. This isn't a technical point.
15. Dunno what this is talking about but I'm guessing it's along the lines of "a byte is 8 bits", i.e. it is actually true in the modern world.
