The problem with the view that this article expouses is that it removes the whole meaning out of D.O.

D.O. is about how suffering arises due to grasping in the here and now.

D.O. helps us understand the process of how suffering comes to be and, therefore how to overcome it. The Buddha taught that people could overcome their suffering here and now. The problem with the D.O. = rebirth as a slug view is that it removes all that from the here and now and makes the whole Buddhist enterprise to be about stopping suffering in some future distant life, with only minimal benefit reconised in the present moment

In my view this is nonsense and furthermore it hinders people from seeing the whole point of Buddhadhamma and how to effectively use it to cross the river
