Yes very interesting... and the second thing you mentioned is the whole point of the article. The sun naturally throws out far more red than blue, which is why plants have adapted to use the red light more, but the article is suggesting that the sun is not the best light source for plants. It is the best, but only because of it's power... but were we to have a different sun, one that throws out much more blue we would have bigger and more potent plants growing on this planet.
So as an indoor grower it is not our job to replicate the suns light, but to replicate a light source that is more beneficial to plants.
That is what I gleaned from the article and the little bits of research I've done seem to back up this guy's theory.
