There is no basis in reality for this. The only thing that matters is the
parts value/tolerances itself. A 1K ohm SMT resistor is the same thing as
a through hole 1K ohm resistors. There is no correlation between
SMT/through hole and resistor tolerances. That's silly.

Has nothing to do with SMT vs. through hole.
This is all completely false speculation. The danger on the internet is
starting to spread rumor like this - it'll eventually be picked up as
"speculation" and become folklore, then "fact". Anything halfway
"plausible" sounding becomes fact by those who don't know better, which is
most people.
Please, stop now before someone starts believing this nonsense.
