That's not how I read it. The whole deal stems from not ever letting water stay in contact with the aluminum for long periods, as in wet foam against the tank. Space for air is needed, not necessarily active air circulation.

Also, I'd be concerned about using coal tar if he is corect about carbon being cathodic to aluminum and causing galvanic corrosion.
