the author doesn't understand Hepburn transcription but still loves to use Romaji.

That's how we arrive at spellings like Hazime and Haduki instead of Hajime and Hazuki.

It's semi-valid since じ and づ (ji and dzu/zu) are kinda hard to transcribe when you also have ぢ and ず which make nearly identical sounds. You need to be lvl 60 Japanese to hear it even, so in standard transcription both are fine. Most westerners prefer Hepburn, that's why the article is like this I think.
