And they are saying that a good match between excess mortality and reported Covid death is not, in itself, an argument to say that Sweden is doing a good job. It has more excess mortality than its neighbors even if these might be underreporting Covid death so this argument is not exactly relevant.

The implication is that Sweden is doing a great job with the reporting. I think the whole point of OP's comment was that the statistics are meaningless because many countries skew the reporting, while Sweden does not.
