What Mike was talking about was giving people the expectation / belief that the grass has any part in the rules at all, especially regarding infielders and outfielders. Can anyone here actually say they have never heard a coach complain "that can't be an infield fly... it was caught on the grass"? Local rules like the one quoted reinforce that fallicy (and were perhaps written by someone who believes that fallicy - or, in other words, by someone who is ignorant regarding the rules).
