I too have been taught the same as Welsch. I believe (and have heard discussed) that the rule is not there to prevent batter from swinging at a low pitch that happens to barely bounce before contact. I think it's there to stop a swing on balls that bounce VERY early (or roll) or those that hit the plate and bounce straight up.
