There's significant truth to that. Take note of how many people started doing mouthpiece work AFTER Zinner blanks became readily available (and not because they were simply too young).
When I started doing mouthpiece work back in 2010, one of the first pieces of advice I received was to do at least 6 months of refacing before ordering any zinner blanks. Learning to make completely unplayable mouthpieces into great players taught me more about mouthpieces than a lifetime of working on Zinners.
It's a bit like learning how to change your oil in your car and then claiming to be an auto mechanic because you did work on the car and it runs. The saying, "like a rooster who thinks they made the sun come up" is also applicable.
