Actually, that is just one point they mentioned about it, if you read it. ( <--returning your snarky tone)
I said, I don't care for the taste. That is my preference and opinion and I am sticking to it no matter what you want to argue. I've tried it. I know what I like.

It turns out that tea requires certain types of hot water. That is, water at a certain temperature. Green tea, for example, should be steeped at 176º F; herbal tea requires 210º F. When you stick your mug in the microwave, you have no idea how hot your water is. Tea kettles, on the other hand, are designed to heat tea to 212º F, according to Slate....

The two do agree though, that the right temperature of water is really important. Overheating your water can make your tea taste bitter and weird, says Slate.
