We don't know for sure that this is true, though it is a widely held belief.

KO shed some doubt on the subject, suggesting the affliction reduction was based on regen percentage in some way.

As far as I know no conclusive tests have been conducted.

The 1/8th chance come from a ingame tip so it is official, but it might be a relic from earlier versions and not be true anymore.
