It's true only if you're dealing with sophisticated users. A plain user 
will fail to grasp the difference between a grayed button and another, 
and you'll get a phone call in the middle of the night from Hong Kong or 
from Santiago, claiming that the touch screen is broken, because 
touching a button doesn't provide any action! (Usually those things 
occur in places where the time zone makes them work when you're asleep :-( )
If you notice, all visual applications meant for plain users (cash 
dispensers, buying machines, self check-in, info terminals, restaurant 
and hotel management, etc.) show only active controls, and hide all the 
rest.
