It is not drivel, merely a guideline misinterpreted as a sacred law. "The adjective hasn't been built that can pull a weak or inaccurate noun out of a tight place." is true. It also uses three well placed and helpful adjectives.
I have been served pie ruined by so much cinnamon that I couldn't taste the ice cream let alone the apples, yet without any cinnamon it would be bland beyond enjoyment.
When used as seasonings adjectives and adverbs add variety and interest but they irritate when overused and should never be used to cover up a main ingredient that was rancid in the first place.
