I don't think that's the GP comment.
I've had offers below my current pay and not switched.
Hell, I've even got 10%+ bumps and turned it down, because the h1 visa disruptions would eat up time (& complicate travel plans). Plus Hortonworks used to pay 100% of the healthcare premiums, which worked like a stealth raise YoY.
If you would only switch for a pay up, then this result is a natural result of the strategy followed by the switchers.
At best, the article is a recommendation for that strategy, if you care about money & don't know this already.
