That is applicable only if the argument is a flow of logical deductions. But the topic at hand isn't.

The section where the old WoW talent trees were mentioned, used it to illustrate the case where, and I quote:
if, when you first logged in to World of Warcraft, you were immediately given access to all the abilities in the entire talent tree, you'd feel really overwhelmed. A progression system can be used to introduce elements of the game to the player one by one, allowing them time to familiarize themselves and get comfortable with one facet of the game before moving on to the next thing they need to learn. The best thing about this approach...
You should see now using the Talent 2.0 of WoW, for example, would not be appropriate to illustrate the point that you'd be overwhelmed without a progression system.

The video is not claiming that the old Talent Trees are superior. It wanted a real world example where skipping the progression (giving you everything right at the beginning) would overwhelm you, and WoW's old talent trees was the perfect example.

The WoW old talent trees was used as an example where having some form of progression was better than having none. It made no claims on whether that particular implementation of progression was superior or not.

Hence there's nothing "balantly wrong" by mentioning WoW's old talent trees.
