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.

And your reference against Fall seeding of cool season grasses would
be? Last time I checked, Fall is followed by Winter, then Spring.
So how is it that the grass that is seeded in Fall doesn't have time
to develop a root system. If you do even a quick google, any lame
brain can quickly find ovewhelming recomendations from agricultural
services to seed cool season grasses in Fall.
