This sounds like good advice, but lost its luster once I thought about it for a bit. Given that it's a market, people's worth is constantly changing, sometimes dramatically so, and you should largely try to get as much as you can. But yeah you should also consider both party's BATNA when deciding how hard to push.

It's a market, but I don't think we're at a point yet where we're a commodity that is line replacable. There's no fair running daily auction on standard-issue developer/tech talent. Everyone has backgrounds and specialties that are so unique you can't really make apples-to-apples comparison.
