Poles with 5 edges

There is a rule in hard surface modeling, about not to place vertices with valence of 5 on curved surfaces either convex or concave, in other words not to have poles with more than 5 edges on curved surfaces. But then we always see them on organic models which are all curved and smooth like the faces and body of our characters. The question is, if we have poles with 5 edges, how curved is a curved surface in this rule?
