You should always doubt the expertise of random commenters (or guide writers) in classic sources: people misunderstood a lot about the game back then.
At the same time however, the quote speaks for itself:
This guy was playing at least to 39 (quite possibly to 60), and for him one cast of Disease Cloud and a single click of taunt held agro. You don't need his expertise, you just need his honesty ... and I could see no reason for a guide writer to lie about something like that.

We don't know for certain that the person who wrote this actually played until level 39. It's still quite possible he simply looked up the spells that are available and/or simply heard from higher level SKs that this spell acquired is either another good choice for hate or quite possibly better hate at the level it is acquired.
Either way though, without hard numbers from in era, like a players log files or parse or some type of formal testing someone may have done, we can't really get a good idea of just how much hate this spell should generate. If I have time, and If I care enough, I might spend some time looking for hard to data to either justify my position or possibly a change if that data says otherwise.
