That's incorrect and has been for quite some time now.
Not according to G employees at the G forums. In fact it even says this on the page you quoted. "If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?" character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few." You even mentioned that yourself. That article by Fox is from 10-2006, yet long after that, the G employees in the forums are saying dynamic URL's are not a good idea because they can be problematic.
