This sounds more like the cliche "You should never make the first or last out at third base," which has some wisdom, but isn't gospel truth.

I also think that, regardless of what Sabermetrics says about the foolishness of intentionally walking batters, the game should do it as much as it happens in real life. (My personal managerial strategy is pitching around batters more frequently, and rarely issuing an intentional walk, but I want the computer to act like most real-life managers, when at default settings.)
