Nonsense.  "Sensitive" computers should be connected to networks for
the same reasons as other computers.  However, most computers with
sensitive information lack the proper access controls to allow them to
be connected to a network in a secure manner.  That's why
conscientious administrators of such systems choose to keep them
isolated.
