1- very strongly doubt there is any truth to this statement

2- if there is, then Bubbles' "racing buddies" are almost as
stupid & incompetent as he is.

Any sailor who is awake during a race... or at least, a race
with good wind... realizes that overpowered is slow.

Depowering a boat while inducing as little drag as possible
is one of the key skills of racing... I'd say, of sailing
well at all, regardless of racing or daysailing or cruising.

downwind "feels" like the weekspot for this boat, especially without a
chute or poled out 150%.

Could you explain what this means, technically?

Bubbles, you're nuts.
