I've read that page before. The "myths" they say don't hold up to scientific scrutiny are based on specific remote conditions. I've wondered what angle they are coming from with quotes like this in the header:
"The nation needs to return to the colonial way of life, when a wife was judged by the amount of wood she could split.” W.C.
One example is an outlet pipe not property shielded from cross winds may create a positive pressure on the fireplace and blow air out the inet. Of course it would! That's why they make wind guards (and carefully planning your stove pipe would be ideal as well). You'd have the same problem with a wood stove or any other outside-air fed heating source.
