No. It assumes that for every man like you (i.e. who commits more crimes in absence of punishment) there are others who are the opposite (commit fewer crimes in such situation) and that the aggregate crime number increase from people like you is lower than the aggregate decrease from the others.
That said, nobody (included the author of the post, who had explicitly said so) thinks the assumption is realistic. No need to point it out.
I would be a one man counter example in such a society. I doubt I’m unique. Your thought experiment assumes no one that is like me.
