If you're referring to the title of the thread then "less" is still technically correct in the context in which it was used. From your own link:

One Less Complaint

Using the “singular or plural” rule also explains another “exception.” People often think phrases such as one less banana are wrong because you can count bananas, but one less banana is correct because it is singular and you use less with singular nouns.

One less banana and similar phrases put you in a tricky situation because they are correct, but many people think they are wrong. For example, I got grammar-related complaints after Gardasil launched its “one less person affected with HPV” ads because many people thought it was grammatically incorrect. Therefore, I recommend avoiding the construction whenever possible. It’s better to rewrite your sentence than to have people think you’ve made a mistake or to knowingly use the wrong word by writing one fewer X. You really can’t win whether you write one less banana or one fewer banana. So rewrite. Instead of telling your caterer We need one less banana in the fruit bowl, avoid the controversial sentence by asking her to Take one banana out of the fruit bowl.

Doh! I guess I should have read the description of fewer vs less a little better. Well that's one less (fewer) grammar correction for me today

The first time I pushed back after IOE, the tug started to push, but we didn't go anywhere. Thankfully, the tug driver was smarter than me, and quickly stopped as soon as he felt resistance. After releasing the parking brake, everything worked out fine. :oops:
