[OM] Is this statement true??

"Almost any lens is sharper stopped-down than it is wide-open. So besides focusing better and more accurately, a fast lens is usually sharper at the same aperture as a slower lens, simply because it's been stopped-down more."

That's from an article on photosig.

I don't think that's true. It's easier to make a sharp slow lens. A 50mm f3.5 @ f8 I wouldn't be surprised if it was as sharp or SHARPER then a 50mm f1.4 @ f8.

Am I wrong, or is the article's statement wrong??
