It's definitely correct to say that you shouldn't overextend your pawns but as Bdsr has mentioned many respectable openings have this since it isn't an overextension but a good move to limit the opponent.
my comment was pretty bad, i narrowed it down like a doofus, after all capitilizing on a opponents weakness to reduce thier ability to advance is a godsend strategy.
Well, what we can say is that it all depends on the situation. Sometimes it is downright awful to advance your center. Sometimes it's the only playable move.
it may have dawned on me late, but i have realized one thing any player must do to ensure a strong opening, never advance past the third and 4th ranks unless you get a rare chance to attack the f6 knight with a e4 pawn. then secure a stake in the center with a follow up of d4. anyways the reason why is because this is whites weak files, while the same i for black being the 5th and 6th
