Hmmm, perhaps you missed the second part to the sentence, which is why it was there:

The challenge here of course is to make a thin base-plate design that performs at least as well as a thick base-plate design at low flow rates.
Achieve that, then people can achieve good performance at low flow rates/weaker pumps, but those with stronger pumps can reap the benefits of having the stronger pumps in the first place.
