Yes, it does mean that code review is completely wrong. If you read the article, they suggest strongly that it is hard to get a "correct" code review process (perhaps because it encourages the nitpickers, or perhaps for other reasons). If you've got a bunch of experienced people spending a year on it that can't solve it, perhaps they just can't solve it. And at that point: What's the difference between something that's wrong, and something that they can't do right?
