Interesting. One way or another this is another example of "nobody cares more about your money than you." Google reps for intro clients aren't always the most versed - so double check everything. $100 doesn't go that far in Adwords anyways. It's always good to start small and scale things up gradually, rather than blast it, run through your budget and be back at square one. You might have had a bad experience, but I highly doubt Google is actively trying to screw small advertisers out of their free $100 credits by giving them bad advice.
