I agree -- good article. I think it could have benefited from some illustrations of guitar vs. speaker cables inside the plug. Some folks still won't know
what they're looking at I would bet -- even with the good explanation.
I've had to revisit this again and again at our church as some well meaning worship team member redoes the platform cabling for some sort of aesthetics and swaps out cables to make things "neater". The result is both monitors and mains fed with quite thin wire.

Part of the problem is the majority of amp manufacturers that is still using phone jacks as speaker outputs. These are far from ideal for high powered signals,
and something like Speakon is the way to go. Unfortunately, these are only fitted to some high powered solid state amps...cost cutting dominates at this point
even in boutique tube amps.
