The DCI has a much larger datapool to decide which tournaments in the world represent the global metagame (and to get the decklists of the winning decks).
I am pretty sure most of the tournaments Smmenen picked will not be on the radar just because they are not DCI-sanctioned due to being proxy-tournaments.

Thus - since the DCI is the one to decide on restricting certain cards they should have quit looking into this discussion ( if they ever did ) because the fundamental data of the article is not relevant for them - or us?
