No argument, but there can be limitations on how much you can speed up the deployment pipeline. In particular, the article is about integrated circuit development (actually about systems made of many ICs), where a “production deployment” takes months and many, many millions of dollars, and there’s not much you can do about it.

I heard a story decades ago about a software team that got a new member transferred in from the IC design department. The new engineer checked in essentially zero bugs. The manager asked what the secret was, and the new engineer said “wait, we’re allowed to have bugs?”
