Yes, I've seen that and in fact in that same thread you'll find:

To state the obvious, shaving doesn't stop the hair growing. If you shave you're going to have to go on shaving it as it grows back in. But when you've got hormonally-fueled growth of facial hair, shaving works when other methods cause nothing more than grief and distress.

Yes, it's very distressing to have male-type facial hair growing in. But that's the point -- if it's male-type facial hair, the answers that will work for the finer, slower-growing hair that's more common in women woun't necessarily work. And when the solutions that may work with most women don't work any more, because the growth has developed into male-type hair because of high levels of testosterone, then the time has come to look at shaving.
