I read this as slightly dangerous language, perhaps suggesting that businesses can just get delegate their Twitter strategy to their 'techie' or 'web person' , start tweeting away and expect immediate ROI. The fact is, if a corporation plans to have a presence on Twitter, that individual needs a wide-ranging skill set -- who knows the business itself, has a certain knowledge and sophistication around customer service, public relations, social media etiquette, Twitter apps, brevity when it comes to worthy tweets, etc. -- and appreciates that Twitter, in and of itself, is not strictly a platform to 'push'.

As Mark Twain (and apparently several other people) wrote, "If I had more time I would write a shorter letter." Boiling ideas down to 140 characters effectively will become harder and harder as Twitter volume increases. Point No. 2 is wrong (generally).
