Nothing could be further from the truth.

Never seek advice from this person again. They are at best ignorant on this subject.

The crank could have been ballanced internally (not likely) or either the 28 or 50 oz. The person putting it together may have assembled parts and never had it ballanced at all. Running it out of ballance can cause many ugly things to happen. There just isn't that much to pulling a short block appart and reassembling it. I would have it checked by a good shop.
