I heard this argument also, or that it should be at the outside of the disk.  
The rotational velocity is faster at the edge so more sector's pass the head 
every second.  Personally I think these are the rantings of no-nothing 
"experts" with too much time their hands.  Who measure the .0001% access time 
difference.  When a HD manufacture comes out and tells me after extensive 
testing this is the best solution, then I will act accordingly.
