This isn't true, the physics behind disc brake systems hasn't changed since they were invented. It may be true that modern brakes have less of a tendency to be noisy than older discs but they still can be noisy. I personally use Wurth CU1100 copper anti-sieze, it works really well. I don't recommend any RTV type glue but if you do use it I recommend stomping on the pedal before it cures to get some of the RTV out. It's not a more is better situation.
Maybe Critic is thinking of the instructions on the CRC bottle that say to only use the product on NON shimmed pads. Some professional writers claim that the glue will grab onto the shims and can cause them to detach from the pad, rather than sliding around against the caliper.

By the book vs. real world experiences is interesting!
Interesting about the copper anti-seize. My local Dodge dealer uses a 3M copper anti seize also.....so much for "no dino oil lubes near brakes".
