I think they mean that SM is more relaxing.

If you drank too much beer while playing dominions, you'd probably make a mistake and lose. SM gets predictable after a point, such that you can have beer, eat some pretzels as a snack, and beat the computer opponents at a leisurely pace.

I like Dominions. It's a very deep game and quite challenging. I'm not a fan of the downward ecomonic spiral or the extreme disaster luck events (which lack positive counterparts), but overall the game is spectacular.
