Wow. this article was written in such a negative bias. The author of this article portrayed Paul Simon as a short men who has an inferiority complex. The author completely downplayed the struggles, prejudice and discrimination that Paul simon faced. He also downplayed the negative impact that height prejudice has on people expecially short man. Even his bullet points highlited in a very subliminal way the superiority of tall height and the so called inferiority of short height.

I always thought he was average/shortish and Garfunkel was just super tall.

It takes a lot of courage for someone of Paul Simons social stature to express height prejudice and how it has negatively impacted him. He definitely is facing a lot of backlash for acknowledging height bias.

They make out that he is petty and wanted to be taller so he could dominate others. They basically framed it as him having short man syndrome.

Do you need to have some sort of condition to become a 5'0-5'3 male?

Yup. Its a way to shut people down. Whenver any marginalized groups of people start talking about their experiences people who want to keep those groups down will often diminish their pain,.

5'3 is about the average height for a man in Laos, but it'd probably fall under constitutional short stature in tall European countries.

The phenomenon of appearing overly aggressive or assertive. This may be a reaction after repeatedly suffering height discrimination (heightism) in the workplace, in relationships with women, or elsewhere during socialisation.
Basically if you stand up for yourself as a short man you get described as having Short Man Syndrome.
