This advice is good. It does take time to reach equilibrium.

If you are anxious to get the RH of your beads down for piece-of-mind then do so.

One round in the refrigerator is clearly not enough. I would look at getting the RH of the beads down to around 60-62% to compensate for the otherwise high RH in your humidor. Go through the process that I outline before (fridge-to-bag-to-humi and repeat until you get to your desired RH).

It does take time and patience to do this, I never meant to imply that this would be easy.

However, once your humidor has reached equilibrium at your desired RH, you will be very happy.

There are a lot of people out there with Shilala's beads in their Vino's and Edgestars that are very happy with how their cigars are being kept.
