The author's main issue seems to be with the explanation that running software from the internet is risky, since he removes that in both dialogs. And yet it's unquestionably true - running code from the internet be it signed or unsigned is a pretty risky thing to do unless you know what you're doing. His main argument for why you'd want to remove it is that most people ignore your warnings anyway. However true that is, it's certainly not true for everyone.
The advice really doesn't seem to fit the real world. Suppose you had a place with a dangerous undertow and a sign to warn people about it. If five people died one year after choosing to ignore the sign few people would agree that a sensible course of action would be to remove it.
