I've read that as well. And I have been concentrating on "rolling" my body instead of turning my head. This has kept me from wearing my kneck out!
However, it's interesting to watch video of elite swimmers. You don't see much in the way of the "roll" described here. I guess it's a subtle roll, not a LOT of roll.
