The author, Rick Beach who owns an SR22 has made it a personal mission to increase safety and awareness of the CIrrus fleet, he does not ever appear to me biased or particually pro Cirrus but very objective. If anyone does fly a Cirrus the $60 they spend to become a COPA member is incredible value for money and I would recommend strongly any owner does join and it is a fact for whatever reason that a non COPA cirrus pilot is 4 times more likely to be involved in a fatality.
