This is true but in this case the health issue doesn't appear to be an instance of something statistically normal just popping up for a work-unrelated reason. It seems very clear that the manager acting on Google's behalf directly impacted the health of the employee in a negative way by placing an unreasonable amount of stress on him and the employees around him, while ignoring their complaints. I suppose the question is whether the manager's behaviour is something permitted by Google as a company and the quotes from HR in the article imply that it is.
