Yeah. Jeff's article makes it sounds as though Tog later refutes the original quote. But all he does is mention that Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V are exceptions because you can use them while using the mouse.
IMO, the post that Jeff linked to in the comments (http://tinyurl.com/2odgua) provides a better criticism of Tog's keyboard vs. mouse claim.
