Check with the post's first paragraph. What it says it is about is how "one can only gain from having true information". In fact, most truths in the universe are bad for us, because of their costs - thus my reality check.
First, as I just explained elsewhere, you are misrepresenting the article by quoting out of context.
Second, there is a difference between claiming "one can only gain from having true information" (implicitly as opposed to having false information) and claiming that having true information is always a benifet.
