This statement strikes me as flat out dangerous telling people its OK to put 3-prongers on an old BX system. If OTHER measures are taken, like GFCI protecting it, then it would be OK, but lacking AC's bond wire this stuff can fail to trip a breaker and sometimes heats up like a filament if something faults to it and the OCPD doesn't trip due to its resistance."ARMORED CABLE (BX)
