Bah, that's bullshit. These are Git features and meant to be used, and these are part of the reason Git rocks so great.
It's not lying, it's cleaning up. History rewriting is assembling all the intermediate crap into a comprehensible patch that as an added bonus also comes with a hindsight, or keeping sense in maintaining your work-in-progress on top of some other branch by continuous rebasing.
It's not lying, it's making sense. It's the same thing why you don't save your Emacs editing history to have someone else replay it to produce the source file. You just save the source file because you've spent time doing work to eventually produce something that makes sense. You don't want to bother other people with your errors. It's of no value to them.
However, the time you do not want to do this with public commits. Anything that you have pushed or someone has pulled is public. Anything that flies out of your local nest shall become immutable.
