I don't see that Rob acknowledged aiming error there, just noted smaller lead. The point is that even if we assume that the relative error in lead is the same for low and high muzzle velocity weapon, the absolute aiming error will be lower for high velocity weapon. In practice also relative error will be lower for a high velocity weapon because smaller lead is easier to quess.
