So a server with packet-loss (presumably too much network traffic) gets marked as a less reliable source. Sounds reasonable so far. But then later it says that less reliable sources should be queried more often (to try and get a large number of correct replies).
Assuming this is an accurate view of how OpenNTPD works, it sounds like quite a nasty accidental DoS tool, as if NTPD servers didn't have enough problems already...
BTW, The "EasyNav" extension for Moz makes these web slides much easier to navigate through... Just middle-click on the forward button to go to the next slide.
