I read this Q&A on Henry Tamburin site (see link below), is this sound advice regarding the multideck games as he states below? For the pure Basic Strategy player this doesn't seem wise, or is it?

Should you hit a hard sixteen against the Dealer's 7 thru Ace, if the 16 consists of three or more cards? IF so, doesn't this increase your odds of busting?

Dear Tim,
If you are playing in a single deck game and you have a 3 card 16, you should stand on the 16 only against a dealer �s 10. In multiple deck games, stand on multi-card 16�s against a dealer�s 10 only when your hand contains any 4�s or 5�s. You should not hit 3 card 16�s against any other dealer upcard.
Regards,
Henry Tamburin
