Without meaning to offend, this is completely untrue.
I do suppose that if you had an Autostick, or some other brand of manumatic like it, sure.
However, in a normal automatic car, putting the gear selector will only keep the engine from shifting beyond 2nd gear. The car will still start in first, not second. Keeping the selector in 2nd will keep you out of third, or fourth, but I don't know what good that'd do.
