"Review early" bad?

#1
Hi guys,
I remember reading somewhere that reviewing early in anki should really be avoided at all costs, since it breaks the rhythm that the supermemo-based algorithm tries to get the memories into or something like that, but is that really true?

I understand that the algorithm works by reminding you of the fact at the optimum time (something like just before or just after you forget it), but then surely reviewing early would just reinforce the memory this round, and allow for a further interval for the next?

In the context of my kanji deck I come across a few kanji that I've learnt randomly in the wild every now and then and identify them, and I guess that would count as a kind of early reviewing, no?
