That's exactly the point that Chapter 3 of the article makes. It starts off explaining how most people ASSUME that more people were polled than necessary, and then the 3rd paragraph says, "So the question becomes: What is the smallest number of respondents which can make such a ratio possible?" The article thus points out the necessity of changing the assumed question into the more accurate question. So, as you can see, the article agrees with you.
