Then why do the articles mention this thickness as though it was something that illustrates their point ? If as you say, it does not ? Controlling gate oxide is a difficult process issue. It is not an issue of a few individual atoms affecting anything. I'm not sure how to explain the difference to you. I've tried. I would take your advice if it wasn't that at least equally learned people claim that it does make a difference. As I tried to point out, people are using terms loosely. It is fine to speak of atomic level issues, but that is very different from actually being to the point where the placement of a single atom, or even a few atoms, causes a problem. There are novel structures, not yet useful for devices, that do attempt to use single electrons, etc. They are much different animals than 65nm CMOS circuits.
