Although that statement may have "some" truth to it, like Ed said, all file systems should be defragged on a regular basis depending on the amount of change that occurs on the drive (moving data across partitions, adding/deleting files & programs, etc).
Typically for an end user, once every 4-5 weeks is good enough. If you find that you need to do it more often, then instead you should be looking for a way to better manage your data. Separate it into partitions (create at least one extra partition for non-system data/apps).
