It just seems someone doesn't know the difference between hibernate and suspend and is finding out that one writes to the disk.
It's probably just for awareness of non-tech-enough users.
That's what this article was about actually. Explaining hibernate, the consequences, giving a realistic impact of using it, explaining sleep and the benefits.
Always give your computer 8 hours sleep per night to keep it healthy
