    ah ok

    it depends on your definition of 'muddy'

    using a 4 colour black will give a much richer, deeper result than a monotone, but some people prefer the 'cleanliness' / simplicity of a monotone.

    they're wrong...

    ...unless of course if the printer misregisters the 4 colour black in which case it'll look horrible, but these days that's unlikely to happen. much more likely is that the printers will skimp on the ink to avoid any danger of ink smudge/run, which could negate some of the effect of the cmyk black, which is why you need to liaise with the printer direct.
