I saw nothing in the OP's statement to clarify that context, nor have I seen it in any of the numerous other posts that repeat the same claim.
If there are a hundred non-obvious caveats, which people may even disagree on ... maybe it's not actually so wise?
At the very least, those who promote this claim should verify they're not confusing "use gut instinct when you have to make a judgement call" with "the entirety of coding, including iterating 1 to 100, is a judgement call".
eg. When do you make the decision that it is the right time to build this kind of skyscraper or jumbo jet with this compliment of people etc...
