I'm not sure I agree with this. I've seen cases where there's a statement that doesn't take a lot of resources to compile and depending on the parameters passed in different execution plans can be generated. Statements like that are good candidates for recompiles. Granted, it may be more efficient to compile it with a specific parameter but that depends on the situation. Using option recompile certainly isn't the first thing I would look at but there are times it may end up being the best tool.
