I've actually heard the same thing from a lot of people, and it IS a good thing to go by if you're not sure what your snake should be eating. However, by feeding it just the size of its girth, from what I've heard, you are just feeding it what it needs to sustain. If you get it a prey size just slightly larger than his girth, you are feeding him with room to grow. Don't quote me on that, because I'm no expert, but I figure it makes sense.
