I feel the same way, Art, regarding articles titled as this one, however, as you say, I still read them - well, some of them.

".375 Holland & Holland Mag.
You’re probably frothing at the bit because I haven’t mentioned the three-seven-five until now, and with good reason. The .375 H&H is, in my opinion, the most useful cartridge ever invented. It will do anything you ask of it, whether the game hunted is steenbok or elephant. Bullets weights range from 235 grains (the Barnes TSX in this weight makes a great long-range bullet) to the big-honkin’ 350-grain Woodleigh Weldcore and Solid, as loaded by Norma; the latter being serious elephant/buffalo medicine. It is easy to shoot, and still readily available across most of Africa. The reason the .375 H&H is still the king of the hill: it works, time and time again. I’ve had many PH’s give the same advice: “When in doubt, bring a .375.” I don’t think that is going to change anytime soon! I recently purchased a sweet Winchester Model 70, and my wife Suzie claimed it as her own before I had time to realize what happened. Thankfully, she shoots it very well."

When my buddy Keith was planning his African hunt, the PH was overjoyed that Keith noted he would bring his .375 Ruger as well as his 8x6SS with him. while he carried it, I don't think he got to shoot that one, and shot most game with his custom 8x68S.
Keith is the best game shot I have ever seen & certainly out-shoots me. He runs a business working up loads for people's rifles.
