The central example of the article supports your point (and undermines the authors).
If "Akrasia is the state of acting against your better judgment" and Victor Hugo led a wonderful life and compressed all his work into the absolute minimum amount of time and produced a masterpiece, where was he acting against his better judgement?
He got to have his cake and eat it too! If you look back on your own procrastination with some honesty, you'll probably see the same thing. You had fun, then you sweated through the work and everything turned out fine.

Had you afforded yourself the proper amount of time you would have been able to deal with those issues. If you're a procrastinator don't delude yourself into thinking it's somehow a positive attribute.
