I agree with this. If the board is face and edge jointed before planing, the
chance is there for that jointed edge to get out of shape during the
planing, requiring re jointing.

I don't understand how that can happen. One face is jointed, and an
edge is jointed to be perpendicular to that face. The planer makes the
other face parallel to the jointed face (an consequently also
perpendicular to the previously jointed edge). How does that affect
the previously jointed edge? Unless, of course, you are talking about
releasing tension in an improperly dried or reaction wood board, in
which case all bets are off on any easily described order of
proceeding.
