Bill, back in those days many, if not most, of us were building our  
amplifiers. As a result, there was a lot of "chatter" about them at club  meetings 
and on the air. With all that chatter came the old wives tales and  
technical misunderstandings.
 
Since then, most hams just buy their amplifiers and there is little  
discussion about them other than here and similar web sites. So, you don't hear  
as many of the old erroneous technical blurbs. In fact, you don't hear very 
many  technical blurbs of any type.

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.  :-)
