I agree with you. Personally speaking I reply to all my emails within the first 24 hours and my inbox has been empty for the last year or so - this is mostly because I do have a lot of free time and I don't receive a lot emails. I think the author gave a bad example for "do it now" philosophy. I know quite a few people who receives a few dozen emails a day and most of them requires some level of thought to reply.
