WWII Homemaking Tips for Conservation

I just went to a really interesting exhibit at my local museum on the "Greatest Generation" of our state (MN). I learned a lot, and actually came across some interesting tips for conservation at home that the government put out, and I was really curious to know whether or you any of you had heard of this one or knew if is was at all true...

Specifically, does having a clean pot bottom mean that water will take longer to heat on the stove? One of the main recommendations was to never scrub the bottoms of pans, because doing so would make it take longer to boil water, thus wasting energy. Is this at all true?
