You're almost as uniformed as the author, but at least you're not publishing articles based around your ignorance of the subject.
If you want to learn more, and have some time to kill, here's two good YT videos by established military channels.

It wasn't a good idea, but they not only made it work, it turned out to be better than expected (and I hated the thing).
We had a romance with the f14 from top gun and the f15 from other stuff, but we also learned that most of what they can do doesn't really matter at all.
It's like having the nicest, sharpest longsword and plate armor, when you're hunting a sniper armed with a 50cal.
If this thing sees you first (which it probably will, both because of stealth and excellent radar/EOTS), then it can probably kill you before you know it's there.
Short of a j20 or one of the handful of su57s there's nothing out there that really stands a chance head to head, or even 3:1 really.
