I think the point was more about phasing issues than timing.  That being said, phasing doesn't really present itself unless a track is playing back with a recording of itself...
Which doesn't generally happen when overdubbing

I understand sync issues, but I would think that the latency of the output device would have more influence than not having the playback device's clock synced to the input.  I've never heard of a clock drifting so badly that, for example, it took 3:05 to play back a 3:00 song.  I can't imagine anyone's playing to be of such exactness that the lack of sample-accurate playback sync would possibly be noticed???  If you are overdubbing over drum tracks, can you truthfully say that your note start times are within 1/48,000th of a second??

The idea is that you would be playing along with a track that wasnt "in time" with what you are recording.  In reality, minor drift is probably not audibly noticeable but it precludes work that needs to be sample-accurate.

I can see this being a problem if the multiple devices were all input devices, such as the "multiple Soundblasters" mentioned in a previous post, but if there is a single device used for input, and another device that is used strictly for listening, what problems can be caused? I fail to see how it could cause a problem, even if the clock on the monitor audio chain drifts.

The sync is fine, one clock becomes master.

I should clarify. You didn't specify any kind of sync solution, and not only recommended using two devices, but stated that it is the normal way of doing things. Doing so without a sync solution will result in unsynchronized clocks, which as far as I know, is very much not the normal way of doing things.
