It's all marketing anyway.
I would always get hybrids and not think much of it but now I try to stick with pure strains, it actually does become clear how different the two are. Indica does make you climb inside your head while sativa is more about what is going on outside it

To put it simply, "strains" don't mean anything.
I read the interview you posted, and they talk about strains in depth. The interview does not assert that "strains don't mean anything", in fact it strongly implies the opposite.
I think the more accurate and enlightening quote would be this:
The "strains" mentioned by the other user are what Dr. Russo calls "exercise in futility".
There is also at least one paper that I know of on this matter, where some "strains" were genetically analyzed and they were found to be different from what was advertised.
So genetically speaking you are given false informations about what you are buying, while biochemically speaking you don't even have the slightest information, because even the producer (probably) doesn't know what's inside exactly.
