I thought the point was that a simple status report is a cop-out.
That's his point, but I think it's overly broad. Just as axe murderers have a preference for axes, bad managers have a preference for status reports. That doesn't make axes or status reports inherently bad. I think, "do you send status reports?" should be an inconsequential step toward, "do you have poor communication with your management team?"
