Actually, it is very good advice.  Case in point - Just 
this weekend I was diving with someone that had a 
balanced secondary on the backup around the neck.  We 
were playing with some scooters and I watched the 
individual scooter off in a cloud of bubbles as the reg 
started to freeflow.  Mine is not balanced and I've 
never had that problem.

A similar situation is also possible in higher current.
