OP of that thread was talking about how (they think) the password was stored in plain text instead of this "tree" you're talking about. The discussion on that was not a nitpick.
The forest is bad practice with passwords, since you get an email of your password after setting it.
The tree is OP not knowing how to describe why it's bad and saying the wrong reason why.
I mean, there were a lot of forests in that thread. Like how it was an old screenshot and they don't do those emails anymore. Or you shouldn't re-use passwords anyways. I don't blame people for missing 1 or 2 forests.
