Can't be further from the truth. Not even going to read the article. I've experienced enough disfunction from a lack of stretching to know how useful stretching is if you lift weights. Hell, just sitting down too often necessitates stretching, lest your psoas shrink from the position. It would be like limiting the range of motion of your elbow for long periods of time; eventually that bicep is going to shrink longitudinally (lengthwise). Limitations on range of motion like this lead to situations where it's easier to hyper-extend that muscle, i.e. overstretch it in a short (split second) period of time. To be specific, I used to deadlift frequently, but I didn't stretch later on, and eventually just the simple act of putting on socks caused me to hyper-extend my rhomboids or something back there. Put me out of commission for a bit such that even biking became impossible without excruciating pain afterwards.
