I have always found that statement to be ridiculous.

It's a rare case when someone splits wood just to keep warm. Given the
option of splitting wood as a means to keep warm vs. spending time in
a heated space to keep warm, I'm pretty sure most people would skip
the work.

In other words I don't see the "warming you twice" situation as any
type of advantage.
