I don't agree with this. You will get called by several worse hands giving you the full double up, and have a chance to win a flip with only 5 premiums beating you. Whereas if you open, you can get 3 bet, which is miserable. If you get called, overcards will scare off the lower PPs/SCs and potentially improve the Broadway type hands, making it very difficult to play correctly. Maybe solvers prefer to open 99 but "playability" isn't a concern for them.
