There is a plane of optimum focus - he's not talking about the film plane, he's talking about the other end. And the fact of the matter is, there is one plane where focus is optimum. It shows in photos where the subjects eyes are not the sharpest part of the photo. The longer the lens, the more important it becomes. But even with wide angle lenses, there's a perceptible best point of focus in many photos, and if the subject's eyes (assuming you're photographing people) is not in that plane, the photo suffers.
