I'd say the 'flawed Zombies' in question are the flesh eating type, yes. Voodoo slave zombies are totally different, that has already been pointed out here. If we can't agree on what a 'zombie' is, how can figure out whether or not the genre is as flawed as the original article suggested. Maybe we could come up with a classification system of our own. Then we could move a head with the discussion.
If zombies have brain patterns, and muscle control, why don't they have a pulse? If the muscles in the rest of their body function (somewhat) normally, why not their heart?
