This post teeters near the edge of linkbait.
It should probably read "why 37Signals advice regarding pricing is irrelevant and unhelpful for some types of software startups." That's the claim that is actually defended in the body of the post, and I might actually agree.
That said, I don't think the blogger isn't trying to pull a fast one here. When Nick Carr wrote "IT Doesn't Matter", then defined IT as something much more limited than the way most of us think of it when it came time to defend that statement, he knew damn well that his claim vastly exceeded his definition. The title, not the substance, was what got him attention. Kind of reminds me of sports writers who wrote "Roger Federer is Finished" headlines a few years ago, then defined "finished" as "only winning a few more slams." Strange definition of "finished" you got there. Hey, even with his resurgence, winning RG and Wimbledon the next year, they're still right!
The body of this article is very clear about the scope of the claim from the get-go... the title is link-baitish, though.
