This article is riddled with problems, but two jumped out immediately: 1. Who pronounces it ah-GOJ-uh? Is this an American pronunciation that I have just never come across? 2. Child soldier is a wholly inappropriate term here, both morally and factually.https://twitter.com/whencyclopedia/status/1404727565907025921 …

That is fair - I am openly critical of Plutarch's wet-dream version of Sparta, but if you take him at his word I can see how you might get there.
I tend to see Sparta existing on a spectrum, with one end where our sources are largely reliable and Sparta is a truly horrifying dystopian hell-hole and the other end where our sources are mostly liars and Sparta is modestly disappointing polis.

The more reliable we think the literary sources are, the more Sparta is a uniquely bad place. The less reliable we think they are, the more Sparta is a bland, commonly bad place.

Aha, we got there. We are on two opposing ends of this spectrum (more boring/normal but equally horrific as the likes of Athens). Cool. Look forward to seeing the argument when it is written.
