I always thought this is just part of the "rule of thumb" you mention...

I understood it more accurately as "the old school of thumb is 1" per yard beyond 5-10 yards." (or some such magic number)

I makes perfect sense when you realize the wad hasn't left the shot payload until about 5 yards down range.

At 30 feet my #3 buck is making a plum size to tennis ball size single ragged hole.
