Although cutting wood is harsher than cutting fabric, the primary culprit in the dulling of scissors when cutting paper is minerals. More precisely, papers that use mineral fillers to make paper more substantial or to whiten it.

How does it make any sense at all that cutting through an additional layer of anything would aid the cut, or keep a blade from dulling?
I call BS on this one. A clean cut is about technique and a decent blade, nothing more.
