Nice article, it sums up my personal attitude quite precisely. Concerning #11, I'd suggest pointing out that choosing adequate data structures and algorithms is not what is meant with premature optimization, can in fact produce much better results than any kind of local optimization and may reduce time wasted on refactoring the stuff later on...
