I started reading the article before reading your comments here and got stuck on this:

"However, and in general, despite their great size and strength,
their artillery was not significantly superior to that carried by their enemies’ smaller
ships. This was due to the preoccupation of the Spanish shipbuilders with designing
vessels that were habitable (within the truly Spartan conditions of the period), capable
of undertaking long voyages (with a great deal of space for provisions and water) and
to operate in any weather, which meant that they could not be overloaded."

It's as if British ships never ventured further than a week or so from Britain...
And the artillery wasn't "significantly superior"... It's as if that was written by a very nationalistic Spaniard who thought the inflation of the firepower of Spanish ships by Ares was a bit much.

It's still an interesting read but it's not as objectively written as one would hope for.
