Nope. I think the article understates this but there is a difference between APM and EAPM. eAPM (Effective APM) is probably what he was getting at.
Semi-pros can have APMs of 200-700, with 70% of their actions being actions like spamming multiple right clicks. So their EAPM may be from 60-210 only, most in the bottom range.
Real pros have 60% or more of their clicks as unit/selection group selection, etc so they're a lot more useful.
In battles, some pros even peak up to 500-600 APM. So that may be an EAPM of 300-360 or more.
There's a vast level of skill difference between the top pros and semi-pros.
There's an American warcraft3 player who does around 120apm(as I recall) called Axslav and he was quite good, not a top pro but good enough to beat other pros with good strategy.
On the side note you can actually see how pros are micro-ing by spamming ctrl-c (at a good apm) when watching replays, it centralises the screen on what the player is currently selecting and can be fascinating to watch.
