Default Book contadicts internet culture of DEN's

HI all. I just bought a book called "The Orchid Specialist" by David
Squire. In it, he says that Den's should be dormant in Winter and water
when growth begins in spring. Won't holding off water for an entire
season kill the roots in a small potted plant? And yet he says to make
sure it has good light for the winter. To me, it doesn't make much
sense. Now, on the internet, I checked the culture given for Den's and
it says to do the opposite. Water weakly, weekly with a non invasive
odor of fish emulsion during the cold season and in the spring, start
feeding a high potash feed to ripen the canes. Who is right?
