I think that's generally good advice.
But sometimes it is difficult, expensive or even impossible to detect
infringement.
In this case you may not want to file (i.e. keep it a trade secret) or
be somewhat vague in the disclosure.
I'm not defending the practice, but this is a factor.
It certainly hasn't helped the system that you no longer have to
demonstrate the invention first in most categories.
