Here's why I say that chart is outdated.

Unfortunately, current mountain-bike fashion pushes the edge of this. In the interest of weight saving, most current mountain bikes have excessively narrow rims. "
Please show me some current mountain bike that use narrow rims.
"If you use a very narrow tyre on a wide rim, you risk pinch flats"
This is just false
