Sure it's OK if along the runway and constant - but the thing in the article was about gusts. Even constant crosswind with a high wing is ok @30-40 kts, but those gusts will stick you in the dirt.
Not to mention "disrupting the structural integrity" of said aircraft.
All who have flown more than few hours can relate some events where the wind was a significant factor in pucker factor elevation toward "Warp6 ."
