I remember an older HN post about this, it explained that both sides of the argument are right. For people who never toast bread, refrigeration ruins it faster. For people who always toast bread, refrigeration keeps it usable longer. I'm in the latter category, I can attest to a loaf of "french bread" being perfectly fine in the fridge for about 3 weeks.
