Not a chance.

While it wouldn't hurt anything, it won't do any harm either.  The advice is 
best applied when first using a modem who's history you do not know to 
establish a known starting point.
As for profile 0, it wasn't long ago that USR modems shipped with the &F0 
(software handshake) as the factory default and AT&F1 first thing was a very 
good idea.  I think that the change of factory default came with the advent 
of V.34 in 1994 (as I recall).
