My understanding of it is that it is more appropriate when talking about recording multiple sound sources (the classic example being two singers). It does not apply at all in recording a nearly point (or uniform) single sound source - explain how so if you think otherwise. On a single but wider sound source, such as a guitar, that has various timbres at different locations, it is something one could perhaps think about, but not too hard.
