There is a point to that, but it doesn't apply to the .50 AE, as it is a rebated-rim cartridge.
Most failure to feed- type problem in a DE can be attributed to underpowered ammo (they like a steady diet of full-house loads), weak mag springs (has caused me problems, the last 2 in a mag had trouble feeding), or limp-wristing it and not giving the slide something to work against.
I'm not saying they are perfect, mind you, but I also tire of people automatically decrying a .50 as useless.
