Read the thread again and tell me where I said he would have been better off doing something different. I simply indicated how I take the lane when it is necessary. And I also pointed out the dangers of taking the lane (drivers who don't see or are not paying attention).
I and others have conceded that taking the lane is not always the best option. And sometimes it is. It depends on the circumstances.
