Note that this is not a Jewish site, and the author gets quite a number 
of things wrong and/or inconsistent with halacha.

In particular note that in this paragraph which RYL quoted:

the claim that R Illowy's declaration was arbitrary is neither true nor 
supported by the linked article at kashrut.com (by our own RAZZ).
