I'd agree with you if he recommended doing this constantly. But to me it seems like a great way to promote a healthy work-life balance most of the year, with infrequent work-vacations for times when you do want extreme productivity, and even a break from your social life. This tactic seems like it could be more of a sanity-booster than anything, if applied responsibly.
