In general, this is true. Over-inflation increases your odds of a blowout when encountering rough terrain or a pothole. But an under-inflated tire is just as bad if not worse.
However, if you have damage to your tires, especially to the sidewall in the form of heavy curb damage, your tires will be significantly weaker, leaving the possibility of pop while pumping.
