They have a point on the turbo cars - when the turbo is off boost the very low CR makes for a very lethargic engine. For general driving around lower peak boost and higher CR makes for a smoother package - not so much of an on-off power delivery.

But with a supercharger you aren't off boost as much as with a turbo, although the 'charger doesn't make much boost at low rpms. So a low CR/high boost supercharged engine would still be a bit peaky, but with a more linear buildup of power. Better than with a turbo, anyhow.
