I don't think that was ever true. It wouldn't really help anyway. Remote controls are built with a specific set of TV codes built in, and new information coming to light wouldn't make any difference to remotes that are already built. They aren't reprogrammable. We rely on the remote control manufacturer programming in codes for all current models. In Wittman's case, there doesn't appear to be a suitable code.
Ideally TV manufacturers would stick to codesets that already exist, then we wouldn't have this problem. But sadly they don't.
As you say, Goodmans are especially problematic as they rebadge other brands.

Be surprised. It's quite common for only some of the buttons to work if the code isn't quite right.
