I think that people are misreading the OP; they're not saying they don't do recovery rides, but rather saying that's one of the psuedo-scientific assertions they often read about here.
I may be wrong, and the OP can correct if so, but that was how I understood the post.
I don't run across those kinds of comments so often myself, but it doesn't surprise me at all that people draw conclusions without having understanding, and don't even think of things in the right way from the get-go.
