Yes. You don't pay yourself a salary from a company that is owned by prohibited persons if the total control / stock of the company of their combined stake is more than 50%.
Didn't I say that in my comment ;).
Also, you'll note that the article you linked to is an example where the IRA LLC owns more than 50% of the company in question when the IRS took them to court.
Your comment only gives an example of people not following the rules, being caught, and subsequently prosecuted.
I don't think what you're saying really applies here ...
