Perhaps he meant "IBURST"? That's certain allowable, particularly if

If you read the article, you would have seen that it explicitly said use
both.
What "article" are you talking about? If it was posted here, could you
tell me the date/time stamp on the message?
I don't recall seeing any reference to the use of *both* BURST and IBURST.
IBURST causes NTPD to send eight request packets at intervals of two
seconds. This fills NTPD's "filter pipeline" and is a "one time"
operation.
BURST mode sends packets at two second intervals in perpetuity. ISTR
that BURST mode was intended for use with dialup connections and should
never be used otherwise.
