So, I have finally found the time to watch the video that kicks this off and I think people are being a bit harsh. He found out about this rule from another YouTube video by another youtuber Questing Beast
Who seem to have picked up on initially from a blog by the Alexandrian but has done enough research to confirm the presence of the rule in the texts. It is a more nuanced video than SuperGeekMike's (the one whose video kicks this off) but I think that people have been a little harsh. I do not believe that he is trying to preach a "One True Way" or tell us how it was but has discovered this element of the game he thinks is really neat and trying to figure out how it might work.
I think that both SuperGeekMike and Questing Beast are looking this as a neat piece of old rules that could be interesting implement, particularly in a "West Marches" type campaign.
