Thanks for the vote of confidence. However I think its the science that says that. Most ponds do just fine with BG spawning on clay , sand or mixed gravel. If you want higher BG fry/yoy/baby survival then some gravel should help as will being sure there is enough food for them. Another survival help is thick cover nearby to reduce predation. On the other hand if you have too many BG then don't encourage survival. It just depends.
