As the title states.

The guy who wrote the article is a "boutique weenie" .... Must be a 6.8 fanboy. No offense intended, my next AR is gonna be a 6.8.

I am obviously a black out lover.

For a very slim set of circumstances it wouldn't be a bad choice. I'd be interested in what roles they intend for it to see use.

I think any battle field out to 150 yards it would be fine. Especially CQC suppressed. One magazine change away from a good supersonic round.

Must have cats getting in their tulips...

maybe the dutch want to use a blkout so no one realizes they are shooting at them, and won't shoot back? jk

And a rifle needing to be zeroed.

Not always. If it's only going to be used for short range/CQC work (what it's designed for) and you use the right optics, there's no need to re-zero. I used an EoTech EXPS 2.2 and at 100 yards, the 220gr subs would hit about 1/2" lower than the 110gr supers when using the bottom dot for the 220's and the top dot for the 110's. It's all about using the cartridge for what it's designed for.

Lol-funniest comment I've seen in a long time!!

I am not sure which one was funny, but zeroing to the 220 grain and switching to a supersonic round is not exactly like figuring in the rotation of the earth.

Dogtired, my comment was re MPFD's cats in the tulips post. I'm confident you are correct about the ballistics of the bo.
