Folded dipole has about fourfold impedance of simple dipole. All other points have been already discussed in your previous Yagi thread. Please consider that 73 ohm impedance doesn't apply for Yagi, it's for simple dipole without directors. In so far the quote is misleading in the Yagi context.
If your Yagi has small director spacing, folded dipole may come nearer to 50 ohm impedance than straight dipole, see previous discussion.
