I think you're taking Coudal's tone too much at face value. From what I gather, he was told by friends he was obsessive about martinis, and decided to write up the "right way" to make a martini in as batshit obsessive about it as he could. Most of the site has a pretty relaxed tone. (Although it's worth noting that some martini recipes I saw did suggest that the melting ice is supposed to be part of the mix.)
Where are you actually at? I was thinking San Mateo or something. I do pass by Original Joe's on light rail but haven't eaten there yet.
