Complete myth. All that's doing is robbing peter to pay paul, you get less in the long run...and as I've said, I don't believe Publishers should be paying advances in the first place in many cases. Advances only work when there are significant - millions - of up-front costs, not small (tens of thousands) AND there is no venture capital in a market.
Given the
very low risks involved for established authors, financing for very low rates is perfectly feasible.
