I'm quite certain I never said any such thing.

The autogroup Readme clearly states:

DESCRIPTION
    The autogroup overlay allows automated updates of group memberships which
    meet the requirements of any filter contained in the group definition.
	The filters are built from LDAP URI-valued attributes. Any time an object
	is added/deleted/updated, it is tested for compliance with the filters,
    and its membership is accordingly updated. For searches and compares
    it behaves like a static group.
