Pavlina appears to be speaking as someone who enjoys writing in itself. Most students do not. So it's unsurprising that bludgeoning techniques for those who hate it may be counterproductive for those who like it.
(This does not mean the bludgeoning techniques are therefore a good idea.)
Of course, the bludgeoning techniques may be partly responsible for the students not enjoying writing.
