I think it's quite a common thing for people to say if they're not actually experienced in writing the languages. I've heard it from multiple people.

As I say in the blog post, it's common knowledge for people who are experienced in writing C and/or C++ that this isn't true. But it's a misconception that persists among other programmers.

Thanks, this is useful! I'll have to look at the standards again and be more precise in my language.
