As much as I prefer electronic forms over paper, the ability to draw a continuous vertical line through all of those "no" boxes is quite nice compared to actually marking each separately.
Seriously though, this brings up an important point. People don't like excessive paperwork, so this pattern should be used very sparingly.
Users' time and attention is a scarce resource. You can't magically create more of this scarce resource by applying a UX pattern. People will respond by putting themselves on "click no, no, no, no, no, no, and no" autopilot.
That would help in case one was yes and all of the others were a no. You could just say "no to all" and then just change the one that should be a yes.
Users value attention more than time. I'd bet that 4 yes/no radio buttons require a lot less attention than trying to parse the example question from the article ("Will you be travelling to any of the following countries with any of these trailers? Select all countries that apply.")
