That's good advice if you're able to rig a circle hook with your application. Circle hooks are specifically designed to prevent gut hooking and they litterly hunt for the corner of the jaw.

Notice that the point of the hook angles in. When a fish swallows your bait whole, the position of the point of the hook won't snag the gut. Rather, when you set the hook, granted you set the hook properly(when the fish is moving away from you), it set right in the corner of the jaw perfectly, every single time.
