I think you're missing the importance of feedback, in particular the points of speed and quality. Writing more doesn't help if you're just repeating the same mistakes over and over. In the traditional writer's workshop, you write something, it's passed around, and people make comments. Depending on the workshop, a good portion of the feedback can be useless. And it's quite possible that few or even none of the others are trying to write the same sort of thing as you, so you don't have a good source of contrastive examples. Read the SO response he got again. Near instant feedback, from a peer group, with counter examples to show what worked with the readers and what didn't. Faster, better quality feedback that leads to accelerated improvement.
