alt Hacker News"Beginner tutorial", I'm sorry for not taking your point seriously, but I can't take it seriously. TCP for syslog (and RELP) have been around a long time (late 90s for syslog over TCP, 2006 for RELP). rsyslog and syslog-ng support it all, and operators have had choices given the import of their log data and what they can tolerate.

Well, maybe go observe how a broad array of sites implement it in practice, then you might take it more seriously. Maybe you don't implement it that way, but a lot of people will just follow the tutorials or shortcut their way to something that works (but is brittle).
At any rate, I was responding directly to the claim that "No one has suggested running syslog over unreliable transport" which is obviously untrue.
