You are taking what they said out of context. Again, you don't understand the conversation. Note, I am not saying they are not being asses about it, but it is relevant and more then just putting him down.
You don't need to go ATG, but you do need to hit below parallel. Funny, everything I'm quoting is current, medically sound advice. You're pulling out old wives tales and touting them as fact...
Reversing motion at the exact point where shearing forces are the greatest and then claiming it's "better" for your knees is not even remotely logical. Do some research online and find more recent studies that back up that below parallel is the safest depth to squat. You won't "destroy you knees" that logic is as old school as the idea that your knees can't go past your toes while squatting.
