Obviously, since I wrote it, I disagree. The reason that it is GREAT advice for someone new is that the new guy almost never rotates enough. They're always tentative. You say that they'll wonder if they're being aggressive enough; but I think that most newbies wonder if now is a good time, nope, too late, now, no, ok, no wait, ok, shoot. . . And they get stuck either just standing still or ball watching until they decide to go. So instead of that, just go!!

The whole point of that expression is to make them realize that it's almost always ok to rotate. If you go and the ball swings back, it's ok to just come back. It's better to over-rotate than under-rotate. So rotate aggressively.

New guys/gals usually aren't really comfortable with rotating. So just go! We'll adjust if you have to go back.
