Getting the necessary 4 to 1 odds to complete a straight, many players would suggest betting out as semi-bluff.

Isn't an OESD 5-1 on the next card?

EDIT: also, there is no mention of the odds being shorter than that due to the OESD not being to the nuts when a Q falls.

One has about an 18% chance of making a straight on the next card. So ya, its a bit generous to say 4-1. You are also correct in stating that one should adjust their odds for non nut draws (though in the example given, with only one opponent, the adjustment would be very slight)
