Ok, it's possible someone misquoted him to me, or it might have been
in a magazine article. If he really never said it then I apologize
profusely, but I know that misinformation floated around for a while
in the early days of GG amps as used by hams, back in the 1950's and
'60's. It was given as the reason GG amps don't require
neutralization. 

BTW, I was the high bidder for Orr's 1981 handbook on eBay and I'm
looking forward to reading it. I also have a bid on a much older
version too. Should be interesting.

As my friend AC0C said, I have been seriously handicapped without an
Orr book on the shelf. Fortunately, my employers all believed in
hiring the handicapped.  :-)
