Here are the 6 biggest myths in language learning:

Language learning: Myths and facts | Antimoon.com

What the guy is trying to say is that you should not speak or write a Japanese sentence unless you're 100% sure that it's correct. So unless you have a seen or heard a correct sentence somewhere....don't try to make up your own stuff.
This flies in the face of everywhere parents do babytalk with their children, who eventually grow up to be native speakers.

Also, where did you find that link? Almost every single one of those "myths" is actually true, not false as the site suggests. It's just some weirdo trying to make money by being contrarian.
