Not true, period. TBH I have trouble with so many things you have been stating regarding Japanese grammar.
We say 鳥が鳴く all the time without knowing which particular bird it is that is singing.

[Kurasu][wa] [ikimasu]. "The class is going" Other classes might also go.
[Kurasu][ga] [ikimasu] "The class will be the one to go" only this class is going.

Give us a break. I can't think of any situation where a native speaker might say either of those. We do say クラスで行く but not with は or が.
