No, "this person" is not, which should be obvious if you read his original post properly.
His point is that despite the advertised "50% discount", the actual fare is almost identical to the fare he had been quoted the previous week, with increased "taxes and charges" compensating for the lower headline fare. This is a relatively common ploy with all airlines these days, but particularly (it seems) with low-cost carriers, whose special offers change on a weekly or daily basis, making it all but impossible to gauge what, if any, discount is actually being offered.
