If the current is less than the capacity of the lighter wiring and fuse, it should be no problem at all to connect to that outlet and no different than connecting directly to the battery. It is entirely a matter of whether you know what you are doing or not. Pontificating statements as in the quote, are just that. Although I'll grant you that it suggests probably a safest route to take for unknowledgeable people.
As to that circuit being a bad choice for noise issues, that is a different story altogether. But again, mine sounds just fine.
Reread my original post, please. That was just a statement, not even a recommendation.

Everything I have read says hook directly to the battery
