That is a very good article and really emphasises the point that you need to focus at or around the area you want sharp and then adjust accordingly.
Rather than fixing focus and assuming everything is in focus between two points. This technique is used in street photography for grab shots.
They are in focus but not sharply focused!!


I've been doing this unwittingly for sometime. I use to do the '1/3 in' routine but noticed the rear elements were not always perfect. I especially found this with long machinery when close up. But I guess it's more applicable to landscapes.
