ACK.  However, it seems that we both missed the point, namely that the
article's[1] definition ("[…] instead a prototype can be cloned
resulting in another concrete and fully functional object.") might
simply be too strict or is using the word "clone" in a very broad sense.
 Interestingly, Wikipedia defines Prototype-based programming as[2]:

| Prototype-based programming is a style of object-oriented programming
| in which behaviour reuse (known as inheritance) is performed via a
| process of reusing existing objects via delegation that serve as
| prototypes.

That fits well to Object.prototype.create() and also to the spirit of
the article (at least for me).
