In reality, the article confuses two types of "push":

  • Push developing (where the film is "pushed" from ISO 400 to ISO 800 by leaving it in the developer bath for a longer time)
  • Push printing, which is what the (excellent) example image show: The same process performed on the photo paper.

Push developing gives the best results, but may have problems with grain. It also increases contrast.

Push printing will not have grain, but has less potential for "push". When prints are made manually (not by a machine), "push" development is performed as a matter of course.
