There are a couple of things here that I don't quite get to add up.
Unless I misunderstand some of this article, it concludes that film is
more forgiving wrt. blown-out highlights than digital. Yet it says that
you should try to get a "brighter" exposure for digital, *but not for film*.
Also,

Doesn't this mean that what we ought to keep in mind is
It is better to overexpose than underexpose
for digital *and negative film*? (But maybe some of you have been
thinking that way all along?)
