That's my opinion based on the dozens of articles I've read over the years and teachers with whom I've studied. I think it makes sense, especially when you consider the volume of submissions publications receive thanks to technology. Unless you know someone who knows someone and personally refers you to an editor, chances are the editor doesn't have a second to spare on submissions that don't meet their criteria out of the gate.
