Without necessarily endorsing the article's ideas....I took this to be like the diamond-inheritance problem.

If service A feeds both B and C, and they both feed service D, then D can receive an incoherent view of what A did, because nothing forces B and C to keep their stories straight. But B and C can still both be following their own spec perfectly, so there's no bug in any single service. Now it's not clear whose job it is to fix things.
