Your interpretation ... anyone who gives this idea any thought at all should easily recognize that any trailer which hasn't been completely lifted off it's suspension system is inherently going to rock as people walk around inside. Obviously if you attempt to prevent this by placing supports under any slide assembly that's going to put stress on the slide assembly, stress for which it was not designed to sustain. That's common sense. :R
Rather than using potentially damaging slide supports any trailer owner can minimize trailer suspension "wiggle" by using BAL X-Chocks to prevent the tires from rotating about their axis. Further improvement can be achieved with the use of frame stabilizers such as the BAL Lock-Arm Stabilizing Bar. I myself use the X-Chocks which I find do help, haven't bothered going any further than that as any remaining trailer movement really doesn't bother us.
