I don't think that it is - I think that you're reading it wrong. They're not arguing out of both sides of their mouth - they're saying that any situation that calls for using the majority of your magazine's contents is probably NOT going to reliably be resolved with just two or three more rounds.Coming from a crowd that wants the fastest possible tac reloads, I think this is a specious and disingenuous and flippant answer.
If you've gotten to the point where you've expended 20+ rounds, it would seem to be prudent to presume that you'll likely need more than that extra 2-3 rounds that you got into your primary magazine. In that case, the tactical reload is more important than anything else. And if the only way to reliably, consistently accomplish a tactical reload is to use magazines that are downloaded by two - then that's what you should probably have on you.
