is he saying the the links should match up with the inch marks? Sheldon is great but his writing style was too verbose and hard to follow

Edit: well, if he's saying that each inch mark should line up with the same place on the chain, then the chains on both my bikes are pretty decently worn despite only having about 2500 miles on them. One is a KMC X10SL, and the other is a SRAM PC1070. I have an extra 1070 lying around - i'm going to swap that and see if it fixes things.
