Yeah, I'm pretty sure. The point is that in the hypothetical, the ebook represented only one sale, whereas a pbook would represent at least one sale, and probably more. So the author figures he's getting screwed if one ebook sale results in all those readers who don't pay.
Your point comes into play in the real world, where a single ebook which gets pirated does not eliminate all other sales.
