Those who actually crawl and index data would know that there is actually a link between number of discovered urls and number of them crawled – we have discovered 211 bln unique urls in crawl of around 43 bln pages (only successfully retrieved counted), this is pretty representative of the web scale: using 5 urls for 1 crawled page ratio we can arrive to figure of 200 bln pages crawled by Google in which they discovered 1 trln unique urls. Their index might be around 40 bln, however they certainly did crawl a lot more than that and only included best candidates into full text index.

So I reckon this article is as misleading as Googles post
