Indeed yes; summer is the highest stress time for grass, worse than
winter. If you live in the North, you want to give your lawn the
maximum time to get rooted before summer, by seeding it in fall when
things are relatively moist again; if you live in the south, you can
get away with seeding in early spring.

This is nonsense. Seeding in the fall almost always results in lots of dead
grass. It doesn't have time to develop a deep root system before the stress
of summer heat and drought. Seeding for permanent grass in the South is
almost always done in the fall, usually no earlier than September.
