It would have more funny if the author made fun of the real faults with the rotary instead of the artificial ones though.

I don't really understand the concern about oil consumption. I just overfill my oil by 1 quart (unlike a piston engine this won't cause aeration) and it's fine until the next oil change unless the car is heavily beat upon.
See, what's nice about a rotary is that they are very reliable and very easy to make power with if you know what you are going. There are few engine which don't need to be built internally that can go from 146 to 400+ HP with only bolt ons. Take a 150HP piston engine and build it for 400HP. You're replacing basically the entire engine by the time it's done (I'm generalizing a bit but at the very least it would be crank, rods, pistons, cams, valves, probably head(s), etc. etc.). Want a 400HP rotary? Bolt a turbo onto a stock block, fuel it properly, and you're done.

The stock oil burning system on a rotary is insufficient for 400+, most get oil mixed in the gas like a two-stroke. Failure by design.
I can make a 100% stock internal 400 whp Honda engine that outlasts and of the local 400 whp rotaries (some went through an engine a week). I would have to crack it open to hone out some more piston-wall clearance, but all stock. There are quite a few other engines that are similar, but a Honda is the only one I've done it to.
