Machine Account Password Change Confusion

Can someone explain, and provide a link to documentation, for point number 2 in the section titled “Best Practices” in this document:

In the Scripting Guy’s Forum there is a thread where someone claims they must unjoin, then rejoin their computers every 30 days.

I stated confidently that this was not necessary, but a regular in the forum posted a link to the above library article. He also has stated that after the normal 30 days for a computer password to expire, if the computer remains off the domain for a total of 60 days, then he believes the computer must be rejoined. Did something change that I missed (easy to believe)? Is there documentation for this? I thought it was only necessary to rejoin the domain if the client was restored to a previous state with an old password, or something else broke the secure channel.
