Or when it's obliviously draw, like R+K v R+K or N+B+K v K endgames (without pawns)

For your own protection, think hard about your move, play what you feel is the best in the position, and only then make your offer, after which you can press your clock. It’s also considered to be “bad form” if you offer a draw to a far stronger player. The idea is that if the superior player wanted a draw, he would ask you for it.

Actually, the post is absolutely correct. There will be different perspectives of players when they are in an equal position, whether it is theoretical or not. I agree with you, but the post is correct. The post only suggested circumstances where most of the players would offer draw.

Hahahahhah!
yes,was good
I adore this, but I particluary disagree, because that depends on pshychology of a Player. for some Players it's better to play until the end( I do that Myself often), but some People are see the position, and it may be really seen that there is no chances for both sides( for example , when all pieces are suck , and the is no breakthought, or some else circumstances) . So it 's depends on situation in common, and mentality of a Player- is it convinient for Him or Her to learn current position , or it's only distubes His or Her Set of mind

Fine then thats true

The post has a point, but is missing some aspects that also need to be considered:
1. If the position is objectively draw, as some people pointed out (easy example: R+K vs R+K)
2. If you're in a tournament setting you might want to save your energy for the afternoon or the next day, if your current position in the ranking allows it.
3. Similary, two players or teams might agree to draw for tactical reasons, especially towards the end of the tournament.
Apart from these three, good point.

I've decided not to offer draws after in the same season, in two separate slow games, I offered a draw when my opponent made a repetition of moves, assuming, they want to draw. They both declined, deviated from the repetition and horribly lost.
On the other hand, I do accept draws from inferior positions or from much higher rated (+400 ELO) opponents when it is not clear how should I win. Maybe I'll consider changing that habit.
Great post though!
