The article has a good writeup. Clear, actionable, concise.
If you have a bit of instinct for this, it feels obvious that 'reducing' a smaller number by a larger one is not going to obscure the smaller 1 in any meaningful way, and instead it will leave it completely unchanged.
I don't think this is so much what you make it out to be, but a poor understanding of basic discrete maths (also I think you mean the 521 bit modulus leaves 9 zero bits, the modulus normally refers to the divisor not the remainder)
