All knight moves to the h-file or a-file are suggested by a chess engine during the opening of a game as a rerouting move. it is usually to place the knight on the f file or c file. Not to just leave it on that rim file. And a knight on the edge is mostly talking about in the endgame when the board is clear.

A knight in the corner may soon be a mourner!

So, the verdict is, he does not know how to use Houdini, and I will just leave it at that.
You are right, I don't know how to use Houdini, my computer does.
God, these people talk about chess like it's a religion or something! That's why yall rating is the same for decades!
My rating is 1300-1500, but FYI, I improved 600 points in 6 months. (at chesscube.com, from 1200 to 1800) Ok? Remember my avatar and nickname very well and check it again in a few months.
I just checked it.
What happened?
As far as i know, that saying is for teaching beginners not to develop their knights on the sides of the board. So as a beginner I don't think anyone should develop their knights to a3-a6 or h3-h6 squares unless they're attacking or defending a piece. Honestly it makes sense to me. Most beginners have a hard time to even know how the knights move. A knight in the middle of the board has its full power (8 possible squares to move to) as opposed to side (4 squares) or corner (2 squares) of the board. And there's less chance for knights to be trapped.
