Not true.

At the track you cannot even run antifreeze if you wanted to.

Race bike get blazing hot and they do not run anti freeze.

Many times you will see reduced temps when running water wetter and so on compared to anti freeze.

Who ever you overheard that from go back and kick them in the nuts.

All levels should be with the bike straight up. Add Water Wetter to your coolant. You should drain or suck out a little and make your mixture 60/40 water/ coolant. Try to use distilled or de-ionized water instead of straight tap water; too many minerals.
