Not disagreeing, but this statement in itself does pose new questions:
Why was it necessary for anyone to confirm this if there wasn't any
question about it in the first place?
This is a similar dilemma as with certain "grace-note" interpretations,
where one, more or less remote and unique source says one thing more or
less clearly, while all other sources are ambiguous in so many ways that
one starts to wonder whether that one source is the odd one out.
Or Leopold Mozart's quote about the vibrato: Clearly he disliked it, but
he is also telling us that others were using much more vibrato at the time.
However, when you get a chance I'd really like to know about this
source, and where I can find the citation.

I would like to know the citation also, and I had the same thought -- if
all repeats were always taken, why even mention it? Obviously someone
wasn't taking all the repeats. :-)
