This is simply incorrect. True enough when a soundboard and bridge become so damaged that there is no positive bearing, or that bearing is lacking relative to some portion of the bridge surface, then seating becomes a very temporary fix.... increasingly so with the amount of damage. But this does not cover the cases when strings need seating despite positive bearing all around.

The rest of the eternal discussion is about how it gets that way. Ron N
