No, he's talking about a different setting from what you're talking about - Min Shading Rate (both render setting, and set on each actor in a scene) vs. Shadow Blur Radius/Shadow Min Bias.
Lowering the Minimum Shading Rate (among other things) helps make procedural textures appear smoother, and also can help improve texture clarity. The default setting is OK for speed, not OK for quality.
