It isn't horrible advice: Good paper is expensive and if you can buy it on sale, you most definitely should.
And while good paper will absolutely make it easier to learn, it doesn't need to be the best paper. Just understand that the cheapest paper is usually worthless and that the next step up will cause a few struggles. I'd rather have cheap paper than bad brushes, though. (I learned on thin paper, some of it cheap)
