Interesting read, and thanks for posting it - but unfortunately, with absolutely no way to verify the post and its info, it's really all moot.
I personally don't buy that it's the backbone - the servers just can't seem to handle the stress of loads of people in one place. The warning signs were there in plenty during beta, when some of the first ever PvP raids would regularly crash the server. I was involved in one of those, maybe even the first one ever - hard to verify - a Horde attack on Stormwind that brought the server down. Twice. It was a useless attack anyway, since all the guards were level 90 back then. :)
The game has a really hard time handling a bunch of players in one place.
