By all means ignore it if you want to, however, the majority of the arguments in that thread were by people who didn't try his method. IMO, trying you have nothing to lose in trying his method, but you may gain a lot. If you don't like the results you get then you can always return to your original setup.

I've only gone through the process once so far, but am currently trying it again since I recently changed my weight distribution. We'll see how it goes this time, but I have my fingers crossed the results will be just as good.
