Actually, there is no data on whether this is a true statement or not and this is likely too vague a condition to actually test. After all, what is the annual mileage that constitutes a "garage queen" (think of the images this can bring up!) and a normal driver. Is it 5K a year, 10K etc etc.
In addition to seals and the like, batteries go bad faster and tires get out of round pretty quickly when the car sits.
I do suggest that a good brisk half hour drive twice a month is minimum. Moreover, you may want to get a battery tender AND those little tire cups that will keep the tires from flat spotting.
Or, sell the car and buy a nice portrait of one for your garage.
