Yes, they are correct. If the seam is pressed open there's no fabric for it to grab when you sew on the seam. If your SID is accurate you'll just be catching the threads of the original seam, not the fabric. If this doesn't make sense, try holding a seam that's pressed open to the light and gently pulling it apart (maybe on a test seam, not on your quilt) and you can see light coming through.
