I was a bit unfair then. That sounds like someone with good intent tried to put something together to help colleagues. And it's definitely not the only time I heard of negative prompting being a recommended approach.

I’m very willing to admit to being wrong, just curious if in those other cases it actually worked or not?

I never saw any formal analysis, just a few anecdotal blog posts. Your colleagues might have seen the same kind of thing and taken it at face value.
It might even be good advice for some models and tasks - whole topic moves so fast!
