it's definitely true, it's not the timing that causes the laser to be fried, but the fact that the chip constantly sends its signal to the laser, causing damage if it's not filtered some.
I know of alot of people whose laser failed right after or soon after installing a neo without cap.

Arakon,
Could you please expand on that? These are the NEO2.2 pins as I understand them;
PIN #1 = supplies + (power) to the chip
PIN #2 = sends SCE signal out to PS 2
PIN #3 = PS 2 drive tray pulse tells the BA5810FP chip whether to expect a drive tray open or close
PIN #4 = checks/signals RESET button on the PS 2
PIN #5 = closes PS 2 drive tray
PIN #6 = opens PS 2 drive tray
PIN #7 = checks if game CD is PSX/PS 2 (If PS 2, immediately stops SCE signal & restarts when a "tray close" is seen. If PSX, it stops after about 15-20 seconds)
PIN #8 = supplies ground to the chip
