The guide seems to say, "the best anti-virus is Common Sense 2020. See discussion in issue #44." I take this to mean that they recommend common sense instead of anti-virus software.

It does also say, "Anti-virus programs are [...] possibly useful for catching 'garden variety' malware on novice users' Macs", so maybe that's what you disagree with, which is reasonable.

I just wanted to point out that their main recommendation does not, to my reading, suggest to use AV.
