Like Catt as the best source on Fritz ever, it's one of those things refuted already in the late 19th century which nonetheless keep showing up. In my experience, this usually happens when the author doesn't bother to read an MT or Madame de Pompadour biography, because not a single one I've read fails to point out that this isn't true.
