Not literally true: timber management practices have been hit-and-miss over the years, and the resulting lumber shows the low percentage of the best timber.
When a boy, my father lived in a two-story house in rural SE Missouri. This was long before the days of sheetrock, and house was trimmed in stained hardwood. There was not a single knot anywhere, much less a warp or twist.
