I think some people didn't really understand this guy's original post. As I read it, he wasn't wanting a discussion on the generic autorotation technique but on a very specific different method: cyclic flare to keep rotor RPM up for as long as you can - the quoted paragraphs says one pilot managed 9 secs - and then, and only then, lower collective.
The practice of aft cyclic around the same time of lowering collective is commonplace, and its merits were not the intended discussion point IMO
