It does say "Failure training performed too frequently" but then you could just as easily say that moderate or volume training performed too frequently would result in overtraining.

The methods described are not HIT. Practitioners of HIT rarely if ever perform sets of single lifts. The general prescription is 1-3 sets per exercise/muscle, 6-10 reps or 8-12 reps per set, and a maximum of 12 total sets per workout. Unfortunately this is a misleading article.
