Did you stop reading there? I have to ask because IMO this is such a wonderful article, and that particular statement (counterintuitive and questionable as it may be) is really a rather minor point to the larger thesis. Though I can understand your point of view, I'm not a parent myself, but when I read that bit, I immediately had to think "whether this is actually true or not, most parents are probably going to disagree vehemently". But on the whole, IMO it's a rather minor point. I'm not sure if it's true either (but if it was I can easily imagine most parents to have a bias that still makes them disagree), and because of that it distracts.
