The author is correct. Lighting designers sometimes use the effect deliberately to create blue spotlights that viewers can't focus on.

That description doesn't do it justice - you have to experience it to appreciate it. It's very striking and slightly surreal.

They might be correct about chromatic aberration and the difficultly of focusing on pure blue, but the conclusion from their experiment is completely wrong.
