It's not a myth!
I replaced the long belt with a short one with a new tensioner pulley at the 60K service in my '02 9-5 Linear. The short belt was fine for a short time. Within 5,000 miles the belt started to get chirpy and could feel more noticeable vibration when steering at slow speeds.
Switched the car back over to the long belt and a new idler pulley and the problems went away.
