That's true, but that statement was in the context of the desire that some people (including, it would seem, the author of the article) have to get rid of the cosmological constant. The only reasons I am aware of that anyone dislikes the cosmological constant are aesthetic. It's an extra parameter that makes things a little more complicated, but there's no a priori reason it should be zero. Thus, I assert, if one wants to get rid of it, you shouldn't be replacing it with a _more_ complicated model that's no more predictive.
