That's much worse. That implies there is a reliable way to detect and remove the infection. That's not the case. This website included some known attacks and such. There's a high chance that there were attacks of this vulnerability with additional payloads.
There's no way to know if you were hit with a rootkit that persists itself in the bootloader or other parts of your system. There's no way to know if you were infected or not.
The only way to be sure is to nuke the machine, as they said.
Security advice should always err on the right side for a naive reader.
