It's not total BS. Fitting a tube to a tubeless tyre on a *tubeless* rim isn't
recommended. The internal shape of the rim isn't good for the tube, also
fitting a tube to a very low profile tyre (such as 180/55) can cause problems
becuase of the non-circular shape of the internal space.
However, I also use T66X on my 650@ without problems.
