OK. Does this mean "no exceptions"? Or "in general"?
I think it means "in general".
Anyway, I have to explain this in more detail.
"CO2 and Pitch" illustrated some examples when holding one's
breath can help in the intonation. Did I say we have to play
our instruments ALWAYS in that way? No, I did not.
Teachers tell their clarinet students to hold their instruments
with right thumb. Sure, what are other choices?
One day I had to play a stupid band arrangement with a trill passage
(G - Bb in the clarion register, I guess, don't quite remember)
which is not playable for clarinets.
What did I do? I held my clarinet with my knees and use my now
free right hand fingers to play that "unplayable" trill
(of course, use a non-conventional fingering). It
certainly looks ugly on stage, but what is your choice? Not
playing that passage and tell the audience that's not your fault?
Those who play with "regular" method simply produce poor effect.
If a clarinet player playing a long note or ordinary passage
but hold his (her) breath for a while then play it, I think
(s)he is strange. I would suggest him (her) not doing that.
But not in some special cases.
Music is the goal. Musicians justify the way they play with
their brains, not their teachers' mouths, and the outcome should
be musical, not mechanical.
Try playing a E major scale from high E ("double-dot E") downward
on your clarinet, or trombone, or trumpet, or whatever wind instrument,
but with dynamics "ppp" with very fast tempo. Imagine this is the
beginning of a piece and you have to match your start with the
conductor's downbeat. Now play it without holding your breath, please.
Is that passage impossible? When a teacher says "don't hold
you breath", does (s)he really mean "there are never exceptions"?
