You mean this?

It only says that "in 1974 [...] everything was statically linked", but
not anything specific about /sbin there.
I even believe that he got the part about /sbin historically wrong.
There was no /sbin in early Unix versions (because "dangerous
maintenance utilities" were in /etc). You can check this in
https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/ancient/ which shows that even
in V7 Unix (1979) /sbin didn't exist yet. So certainly not in 1974
either.
