What if you work outside in the tropics and sweat all day in the heat?

I thought so too, but as the article states, we lose little salt through sweating.

Not sure I go for that. I used to never salt anything, till one day I noticed I was sweating fresh water. Now I salt the eff out of stuff and I feel a lot better. I think I was chronically salt deficient.
