Nope. I mentioned it as an example of making deliberate positional errors as a strategy in blitz. It's not a strategy that I use often, but I do use it. More often, I play for long positionaly complex, slow developing games in blitz because the induce impatience on the part of my opponents. Also, its the sort of chess I try to play at slower time controls. In blitz, I usually play the same stuff that I play in slower games.

There is no such thing as stratagy, but winning blitz consistently requires strategy, as well as tactics and time management.
