Not at all. You should read the following paragraph in the article. Those 
are suggested bitrates. Those bitrates are suggested because using just 
Layer I is less efficient than using Layer II (which uses Layer I plus its 
own techniques) which is less efficient than using layer III (which uses 
Layer II plus its own techniques). When using more techniques you can use 
lower bitrates to achieve the same fidelity.
