That sound about right to the rest of you?
Here is a good guide that I've read:

topping slows down verticle growth and forces them to bush out some, but they will grow verticle again soon and you will have two main tops instead of one, so you have 2 nice cola`s come harvest time, not sure if it increases or decreses yield.
