Which is all a load of bollox IMO,
Easily done over 40 repairs with crafty pluggers and they last the life of the tyre.
I wouldn't use a repaired tyre on a track day as I'll push everything to the limit, but on road I'm not exceeding 85mph.
The only repair I didn't make was when the screw went in right on the edge of the tyre at the join of the sidewall and in the sipe, not on the meat, tyre was only a week old too! :\
Had the bike inspecting on the side of the road by police and they've seen and felt the repair and not had a problem with it!
I frequently buy 2nd hand repaired rears, not a problem!
