Yeah.

There's always a small risk associated with any update, whether that be an operating system update, an update for a software package, or updates for antivirus or other security apps. No matter how much care the software maker takes, duff updates do occasionally slip out into the wild. Is this a valid reason to not keep Windows updated?

No.

The bottom line is that rapid patching is the single best way to keep a system secure whether it's Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS or Android. To recommend that users indefinitely delay installing updates is irresponsible and down right dangerous.
The guy is completely missing the point. That isn't even the actual argument made by people who want to be able to control updating.
