Was the wording of the headline that made you completely disagree? You can interpret stuff in anyway you wish, especially when you feel a need to argue against a point for the sake of arguing. From the context, overall OP's message is very clear. Basically, it's the same old "get out of your comfort zone" motivational preach, but OP sheds a different and interesting light and gives simple analogies that HN audience can easily relate to. I fail to see any reason to criticize it purely due to the word choice.
PS, this comment reminds me a pattern in HN where an article ends up in front-page; say, about the need for hard-work in a startup, and the comments which would go up in arms about how working "smart and not hard" was the key, that there is more to life than just work, blah blah blah, sometimes arguing with a straw man. Yet, when some 37 Signals article hits about working 4 days a week, etc etc, again some people arguing how the "great" work was only done by putting a lot of work, crossing the higher walls, etc. All in unnecessary amount of comments by making a mountain out of molehill. Without taking to extremes or pointing out some edge cases all this would be avoided.
