I detest this kind of 'logic'. Your two Walmart bikes were stolen because someone wanted to steal them. By publishing videos and how-tos like this one, the public and the manufacturers both become more aware of the problem, leading to the development or purchase of better locks.

Actually the article is assuming the thieves already know how to break this lock (case in point: your bike got stolen). You meanwhile, did NOT know how they stole your bike, so you (and others like you) could very well have bought the same lock again, not knowing it was the lock's fault. Now you should know better,

Trust me. People who steal bikes will learn the tricks that help them steal bikes. Regardless of whether or not said tricks are publicized.

Actually it is usually the lock companies ignoring the flaws and not improving on their design.

Seriously? How does that logic work? Can we use it in conjunction with the ever-popular, "If you wear that dress, you deserve to get raped" or "If you walk in that neighbourhood at night, you deserve to get mugged"?

This would be VERY useful if i had to steal a bike. This is probably how my 2 walmart bikes were stolen in college. Actually one of them most likely was stolen using the ever-popular bic-pen trick, thanks to a handy how-to video like this one....
