No argument necessary; I'm one of some people with a
system configuration proving that's not always true.

Also, some releases of Mac OS X will refuse to install on a volume on an APM disk if the install is attempted on an Intel machine.

AFAIK it's
all releases; do you know any that don't refuse?

So, it usually just better to use GUID for drives with boot volumes for Intel Macs.

True, if the drive will only contain bootable volumes for Intel Macs. I'm used APM on a 2.5" FW drive containing PPC- and Intel-bootable volumes.
