Yes, but bear in mind the operative word is GUIDANCE, like all things related to human beings, there are no hard and fast rules here.
The guidelines are pretty much consistent to what I was taught back in Glasgow in 1980, so they aren't really that radical.
Those guidelines are nice , but they don't seem to mention wisdom teeth that have the potential to create problems like creating periodontal defects, resorbing adjacent teeth (rare), and becoming impacted / infected. Sometimes you will see a "healthy" wisdom tooth coming in, but it's obviously going to create problems sooner or later especially when there is no room for it in the arch. Just because it's healthy doesn't mean that it won't create problems.
