Eric,

This is from that link: "The drywall hangers must cooperate as well. Do not allow them to nail or screw the drywall directly to the trusses within 16 inches of an interior wall."

Besides the fact that I'm not sure that only giving 16" for the drywall to flex will allow that flexing without the gypsum board breaking at the line of the nails/screws 16" out from the wall ...

... that violates all screw/nailing requirements for gypsum board that I've seen.
