That’s why practically on any issue in the promotion of sites you can find directly opposite opinions, even from an experienced SEO specialist.
If you are in doubt, do not read someone’s opinion and do not take it blindly as truth, no matter how authoritative a person in SEO. Put the experiment on and test it on your own.
Naturally, something can change, from time to time experiments need to be repeated (especially if you notice a decrease in effect).
