I think it's typical of the stupidity you find when dealing with people who think they know more then they actually do. A snake can "hunt and kill" a f/t rat just the same as it can a rat that runs to a corner scared sits there for a few seconds before a hungry snake strikes and wraps. If you're worried about the snake not getting the "effect of the kill" feed f/t on tongs and wiggle the rat for a few seconds while the snake constricts. Works great.

As for snakes not striking bc the animal is too large.. that very well may be true in part, since I don't think a ball python is going to try and wrap a rabbit, but it definitely is far from being the only reason If your snake is full or going into shed or a million other reasons and it doesn't want to eat, size of the prey is meaningless.
