The link he posted has the following quote (for the 'Chess in 2010 experiment'):
"Programs will use the maximum hash table setting possible"

Let's see...
Robert Hyatt {credible chess programmer}
Ed Schroder {credible chess programmer}
Vasik Rajlich {credible chess programmer}

all seem to agree that big hash is a good thing, especially at slow time
control.  In fact, I would like to hear of any credible programmer that thinks
having a large hash table is a detriment.

The quote "No Credible Programmer or Player would agree with this!"
has [therefore] been refuted (to nobody's surprise).
