I don't believe that is an adequate explanation. Looking at the paper that is cited in that post #7 it doesn't talk about quasar host galaxies at all. It looks like he's talking about "companion" galaxies. What is meant by quasar "host" galaxies is that when you take an image of a quasar, you often see that is in fact in the center of a small (i.e, distant) galaxy.
But seeing that much of this ground has been covered in the other thread there's not much point in continuing to beat this dead horse.
