Incorrect.

The NEC explicitly permits the use of 15A receptacles on a 20A circuit.
See
Article 210.21(B)(3).

Thanks for the info Doug. All these years I thought I was cheating. I
based my assumption on what I saw done in commercial installs. Some of that
stuff might have pulled 17 amps on startup so I guess that is why they went
with all 20's.
