I’m not sure where you got that from, but the most pulley surface contact that you can get, the better. With maximum surface contact, you can run the belting loser without slippage, and avoid putting excess pressure on shaft bushings and bearings.
It’s the same general concept as using a properly adjusted V-belt instead of a round stretch belt on an electric machine.....
