I think that was their point. They were saying that it's worth it to grab the other sub if you don't know Japanese because just one translation isn't necessarily fully accurate. A lot of Japanese words have extra meanings and associations that can effectively translate to multiple words in English, thus reading only one translation doesn't always supply the full meaning of the word/sentence. So, effectively, you're both on the same page, except one suggestion is for those who don't know Japanese, while the other is simply to learn it, or if you know it, watch the raw.
