I came across this strange misconception about exposure time and

I can capture. This is important in long exposure
since the longer the exposure the more the RAW
file will be exposed to diffraction (which happens
at apertures of f16 or more) a phenomenon
that deteriorates the clarity of the images."

It's because the writer doesn't know what diffraction is, only that it's a bad 
thing.
