Sorry that you are getting trolled on about this article. Leave it to designers to get upset when they are told they should follow a pattern instead of doing it new whenever they want.
With that said this fully comes down to user expectations and I fully agree with you that you have to be mindful of this. I think the problem does come down more to when you have two different checkboxes; however, it would be interesting to do some user research around this and ask them what they think.
Now thinking about it, it might be that some are not trying to troll at all but would prefer to see some research to back these allegations. Anyways ... thanks for providing your input. Very valuable indeed.
