Geof,
I'd say that the comment in the article is what is not helpful, as it implied that Flash can not be accessible at all, full stop.

The comment helps provide additional nuance to the picture - you can't say Flash is not accessible out of the box without knowing what the use of Flash is - some uses require more work to make accessible than others, just as is the case with HTML.

How do you feel that this hurts "the accessibility movement"? Is Adobe not part of this movement?

Thanks,
AWK
