Actually what I think he is saying is that people don't pay attention to the heading number, whether it is a 2 or 3 or whatever. They use the h key and jump from heading to heading. Yes, the number, if used properly, conveys important information, but the heading itself also does. It says two things, this is important, and this is a change from what was before it. It is sometimes quicker just to use the h key instead of a heading level number. With nesting you might get it wrong and have to try something else. The h key is quick and moves to each heading, you don't have to worry about skipping a heading or anything.
