Default Playing a strong draw heads up

I was just reading a thread on another board about this.

The game is 6-max LHE. You open-raise preflop and flop a quality draw. You are heads up and he leads into you on the flop. The original poster stated he's usually on auto-raise here, as am I. However, he struggles on a blank turn when it's checked to him. Bet or check? What if you have no showdown value?

Anyway, someone offered this little nugget that I found interesting:

"If you are deciding between checking behind the turn and calling the river, or betting the turn and checking behind the river UI, it is always better to bet the turn. without improving your hand, you are more likely to be ahead on the turn than the river. By betting the turn, and encouraging your opponent to check to you on the river, you put your 1 bet in with the highest equity, and have the opportunity to bet the river again if you improve."

Obviously, reads can change that, but what do you think of that reasoning?
