Yeah, this was definitely lazy writing. I think the author meant to say that you should schedule real interviews you care less about prior to those you actually want. That way, you have a few warm ups with real skin in the game, but if you bomb it's not going to take away a serious opportunity. I usually do this with interviews at Amazon since it's fun to waste their time.
