It's not a general rule, it's just suggesting that your 50 character block of CSS (that might be dynamic or conditional) would be better off as part of the main markup than a separate request and all the overhead associated with that.

If your static CSS exists in lots of small files, you would strongly benefit from rolling them together.

Both these recommendations may change with new delivery models (ie HTTP2).

Although they seem to be saying that something is wrong with google app engine rather than http/2.
