Yes, but have you ever specifically had a 2011 MBP like in the article? It's a very specific set of models that have the heat issue.
Mine could easily hit 90C under load (it just bricked itself last week). Which mean it was quite hot to the touch. After I changed the thermal compound, it would hit the low 80s (C) at peak, but even then, it was quite hot.
