I hear/see this quite often, but I've never run in to it.

It makes me assume that, like many problems, it's being overreported and/or that the user's skillset isn't terribly refined.
This isn't to say that I don't believe that there are some really tough combos out there, even for the experienced, I just don't believe it's as common as the interwebs echo chamber would have you believe; a tempest in a teapot, if you will.
