No, I didn't misunderstand the quote:

"set up a nightly sweep from PayPal to a proper bank account"

In other words, there is no mention there of any second bank account as a final depository... which is, of course, the best mechanism.

A "sweep account" is a technical term and has a specific definition. The parent's comment makes absolute sense if you know what sweep accounts are used for in the more traditional sense. The parent is suggesting setting up a 0 balance sweep account and then having paypal deposit all funds into that account nightly.

The original comment didn't even use the term "sweep account".

These comments are hillarious. Literally the first result for nightly sweep:
