I can kinda see where he's coming from. As our clutches wear down, the friction materials wear off the clutches and begin to free-ride through the tranny via the fluid. As your tranny gets older, there can be a lot of clutch floating through your fluid. The friction material floating around actually helps the older/more worn clutches to grip better.
But yeah, always change your fluid. If some of your clutches are getting old, replace them.
