The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it states 'Millions of people follow what Buffett does.' This statement is not a logical reason for why Berkshire wants confidentiality while amassing big positions. It also contains inflammatory rhetoric in the phrase 'ending months of suspense over its mystery position in a financial firm, previously kept concealed in regulatory filings.'
