Can't speak for the poster, but I have seen the argument that if solar and wind can both be over-provisioned by a factor of 3, then storage will not be much of an issue.
Fits with a "solar and wind will be too cheap to meter [the amount of cost and materials going into manufacture]" paradigm.

If you have 3x needed capacity at midday but 0x capacity at midnight, you could over-provision by 100x - zero times a hundred is still zero.
