Yep quite right there. But we couold get very, very simple, so that non-nerds like RD can get to grasps with it, BTW I am honored to be called a nerd, never thought of myself like it before but since research is the way to proove things it is the way to go as far as i am concerned!
Here's a simple explanation:
Strategic deconditioning - a temporary abstinence of training in this case "loading with weights" so as to decondition the muscle cells, muscle cells tend to get the repeated bout effect, where a specific load stops causing hypertrophy after a determined period of time.
And a slight better explanation - Jules on pimping HST for tweaking techniques.

Anytime you increase mechanical strain (by stretch, load, volume, modality techniques), you'll increase the remodeling effect. Should a person, then, be doing drop sets or stretch-point movements or even plain vanilla isolation movements during 15s . . . right after they deconditioned for ~2 weeks?
Probably not. In insisting on adding a whole slew of exercises, and then having to do with the limited load choices for many highly effective isolation movements, people accelerate RBE for a little bit more of growth. Unless the isolation movement is your primary movement for bodypart (i.e. leg curl), I think people should wait until 10s to add them.
You can set up a more linear load progression this way as well. Although it can be argued that perhaps the first few workouts may not have a degree of strain higher than the matching compound movement, and thus offer only a volume-redundant loading effect, well what's wrong with that?
Just as 15s ingratiates you to your core workout, 10s helps you mentally set up for the weird techniques you'll be doing with the isolation movements. By the mid-10s or beginning of 5s, the stretch-point movements, not the compound movements, will become the primary disruptors for the target bodyparts. This is where the specialization really begins.</div>
