Ahh - I don't follow the comments on these articles closely so didn't get that connection.
That said, I know a number of people that have blown their achilles and circumstances have been similar to yours - not doing anything overly stressful at the time and took a step back and pow! People that participate in only one type of sport where they are doing the same/similar movement all the time tend to be at greater risk of these sorts of injuries. Same for any activity where there is focus on a specific movement - repetitive strain. Anyway, it's something you can talk more about with your physio.
