I'd have to disagree with this. A high bitrate won't improve on the original source, but a low bitrate can certainly lessen the quality of an already-bad source.

This makes sense to me. However it's fairly easy to downsample an mp3 into a smaller filezie, but impossible to go the other way around and upsample your way into a better sound quality...
