Ya, I kinda figured that's what you might mean, and in that case it's entirely wrong.
Long uptimes used to be a point of pride for admins with how long they could keep a single boot session running. But these days a long uptime just means very outdated security patches.
"Never touch a running system" is very much the same vein now. You should constantly be touching the system for system maintenance and such.
