Carbon forks no good after a "few" years???

Been reading a well known repair book by a well known expert. And he says that carbon forks should be thrown away and replaced after a few years.

So my 3 year old bike is dangerous to ride now?

There is so much controversy about carbon, that it is making me worried about riding my carbon forked bike.
Some say you can get many years' of use out of carbon, others say chuck it after 3 years. Some say 10 years. I don't know what to believe.

What do you think?

EDIT: The book actually says after a "few" years, so I corrected it here.
