False. Though there is some truth in it. If the belayer is directly underneath the climb and the climb goes straight up then there will be no outwards pull on the pro. Otherwise having the first piece being able to handle any outward or sidewards forces is a good idea. It doesn’t have to be a cam though, it can be a good deep nut placement or 2 opposing nuts, 1 pulling up and the other down.
