I really don't agree with this. If that were true, pieces of the exact same length would now end up with the bottom a little shorter. Can you see what I mean?
If I were really concerned about this, I would pin at every intersection, as some do always. If there are no seams on one piece, I would mark the halves, quarters and eighths and pin them well.
It is important to have the two side borders the same length and ease in what is needed. Then the top and bottom borders also need to be the same length, too.
