Despite the agreement from posters in general, line by line, the url
reads like a satire to me.

I was taught that soldering is far better than crimp.
What's your thoughts?

20 years ago I bought a selection of crimp connectors from J.C Whitney
on sale for about 8 dollars. Maybe 18 different kinds and sizes
totally 200 connectors For 8 dollars. 4 cents a piece.

Came with a crimping tool, which I use,

Am I to believe that the quality of the connectors is sufficient to
make a crimp? With cheap connectors, soldering sounds better to
me.

The key word in "proper crimp" is "proper". If you can't guarantee
that, solder is good but it will cause other problems. If you're
worried about the connection (or if a fault may cause damage or the
possible loss of life), dump the crappy connectors and crimper and do
it right.
