To support your recommendation and redress the strawman the article postulates, the post's author could have replaced:

  find . -name '*.log' | xargs rm

With:

  find . -name '*.log' -print0 | xargs -0 rm

This one doesn't need xargs.

  find . -name '*.log' -delete

		THANK YOU. I kept nodding along to all of the xargs comments, thinking “sure, but what about the even easier solution?”
