Quoted from Wiper

A practical example of the problem with heavy not being able to airstrafe is shown perfectly in this clip http://youtu.be/HuPAxZ45_fg?t=14s

Consider that he started rolling his minigun in the beginning; Having the minigun rolling impairs your movement from 77% to 38% which basically is close to no movement at all.
This also makes strafing alot harder, but not impossible.
Bad example..

Well he certainly didn’t strafe, did he? Are you saying I actually was able to strafe as heavy all this time, invetiably making the point of this post almost useless?!

Yes this post is useless because heavy doesn’t just have enough movement speed to strafe properly. It’s same that you can strafe more without crouch than with it
