Does it ?
Don't most stacks have an additional level of triaging logs to detect anomalies etc ? It can be your New relic/DataDog/Sentry or a self made filtering system, but nowadays I'd assume the base log levels are only a rough estimate of whether an single event has any chance of being problematic.
I'd bet the author also has strong opinions about http error codes, and while I empathize, those ships have long sailed.
