I believe that what was said was that by training the side shoot you got 2
leaves then a truss instead of 3.
Looking at my plants side shots have 4 leaves before the first truss, also
the truss is later into flower than the next on the stem would be.
Growing normally you have no problems with having tomatoes setting on Every
truss.
Many years ago they brought out a variety called Mini bell, this was a very
compact plant and the space between leaves was only about 2 inches, just
wasn't practical for commercial growing, the leaf density was to much and
resulted in much more Botrytis
