In "Small Stakes Hold'em" in the section titled "Why this book" on p.2 David Sklansky writes:

There were two main reasons we shunned teaching how to beat smaller games...So, what happened to make us reconsider? Simply put it is poker on TV and poker on the Internet...All that needs to be said is that this poker explosion has made small games a viable way to make money. On the Internet you get to play more hands per hour. In fact, because you can play 2 or 3 games at once, you may get to play as many as five times as many hands per hour as in a live game. Plus you don't have to tip.

So your statement is patently false.

Your statement makes me question whether you have ever read "Small Stakes Hold'em" because it is a pure fabrication.

Go back and read the rest of the paragraph. Then, read the rest of the book. Then, compare the tables they describe to any online game you're likely to find above the .05/.10 level.

Whatever D.S. writes in the introduction does not change the material contained therein. I have yet to see an online table, even when I was playing .02/.04 way back when, which averaged 6-8 players to the flop. Even the "tight games" tables often do not apply to the online game at the small stakes level, which is why so many people stray from those recommendations.

You responded to this [censored]-tard much nicer than I would have, Harv...
