That just provides further evidence that you can't believe everything that's on the internet. Anyone who knew anything would know that there's nothing non-linear about an SMD resistor just because it's in a different package.
I was looking for information on how to repair and replace unloader valves in pressure washers yesterday. I came across one made by an idiot who was using a pair of pliers to remove it. Even I knew prying it out with a screwdriver was the preferred method. He even learned that before he posted the video, but he posted it with his ham-handed attempts to get it out with pliers anyway. It was a 6 minute video that could have been covered in a couple minutes; I kept skipping forward to see if he had any jewels of wisdom. He didn't.
There is some good information on the internet and there's even more bad information because it's not always a peer reviewed source of information, or misinformation, as the case may be... As with all sources of information, you need to use your knowledge and common sense to vet it.
