I think the argument was that the initial draft of players didn't develop properly, leading to a 20 year old rookie playing like his prime until he reaches old baseball age and thus setting ridiculous career records that were unattainable to the next generation who don't hit their prime until ~27.

I've played a lot of fictional and don't completely agree with the theory. I've done it fewer times than not and haven't run into problems.

Personally I don't mind a first generation player setting a high record. That way when someone breaks it or comes close to breaking it it becomes a big deal. Babe Ruth set the career homerun record in the 30's. It's only been passed twice with once with a possible *asterisk.

Exciting, yea?
