I guess they are trying to show how radical trad climbing is, but it is something that I did when I was up there as the thing was looming large over an intended route.
Speaking of looming blocks, there's one at the top of the Old Man Original Route P5 corner that I'm convinced is a (pretty bad) accident waiting to happen. You step on it to get back to the belay point. I also saw a shot in the film from the Needle - wonder if they got up it? Nice film, and good reminder of the place.
