What you have read is true, but just like anything, there is always two sides or other ways to look at something. My point i think is that someone can cycle creatine over a 10 week period as 4weeks on, 4 weeks off, 2 weeks on... and then report enormous gains in their latter part of the cycle. And then contribute those gains to a healthy cycle on and off the supp. But, that might not be true for the next guy. A biggggg factor in creatine supplementation is delivery system, nutrition, water consumption, and food consumption. And as for time cycling off creatine... this again can vary with diet and other factors. People are different... that is the first thing that anyone should understand and accept when it comes to fitness... genetics, diet, natural ability, personality, etc.... these all are major factors governing a person's body.
