I wrote a post on this last year, but the New York Times did a much better job recently covering the story. Not surprisingly they have better writers on staff, even if they tend to report misleading or incorrect information occasionally.
I still don't understand the psychological value of paying off your home as the article talked about. It confuses me that people wish to have a significant portion of their wealth tied up in an asset which is very illiquid and and has historically low growth potential.
