Unless this an opponent specific read, this isn't true for just about any game I've ever played in.

The smallish flop c-bet keeps his range good and wide if we choose to double barrel here and wins the most against common newbie lines with hands like AK/AQ/JJ/TT here that won't commit but also can be stubborn for that first bet because they know you'll fire with anything on the flop.
