Doesn't matter if you agree or not, fact of the matter is that's the reason why. There are a lot of articles and research done on the subject.
Here's one I found with a quick google search that goes in depth about the whole "rule of thumb" thing and what actually causes the power loss.

They even state the same thing I did above.

It's also worth noting that the more powerful you make your engine, the greater the thrust force and angular acceleration it's able to exert on the drivetrain, generating even more friction and heat in the process.
