Automattic employs 225 people.

And his point is that if you are getting rid of that employee, because they're a bad fit, anyone is pretty free or cheap to lose in the first few months.

They suck, you're firing them. Why would you lose productivity?

Not that I totally buy it, hiring and then firing a lot of people trying to find an amazing person instead of just an ok one will be bad for morale, get you blacklisted by agencies who can't collect their fees, getting a bad rep in dev circles and other consequences I probably can't think of.
