Red Dot sights (and optics in general) should be added into the mix after you have reasonable proficiency with iron sights.
That was my main beef with the article. Learning the fundamentals is key, and nothing teaches better grip / trigger pull / stance than lining up iron sights and keeping them on target through the whole process. Once you understand how shooting is about more than just the sights you can move forward to learning more.
The gun I use to teach people is a 9mm Glock 19 with attached. A couple hundred rounds of 22LR to get accustomed to the idea then I put on the 9mm slide. Both have factory sights on them.
