Really? I never once heard it back then, and I played a lot late in that era, even at cons. With frequent random encounters and uneven XP tables, things like this weren't as big an issue back then, at least until levels got to double digits (when we mostly rolled up new characters). Plus 40% of the magic item table was armor/swords/weapons, and another 35% was in consumables (potions/scrolls). (This was even more pronounced in OD&D, when all swords were intelligent (though only half got any benefit) and were 20% of the magic items, while rings/staves/wands/rods/miscellaneous were a mere 15%.)
