whats your source for that conclusion, is it an opinion, and what is your basis?

I know this because I use tons of hyphenated names and time and time again they do well in Google. I know nothing about SE optimization except the very basics but I do know that my hyphenated names always do better than my non-hyphenated names.

blue-cars.com beats bluecars.com for SE purposes for the search term "blue cars"

Hyphens will help to a point, but not much. Most SE's are phasing out domain name relevance because of overuse of hyphenated domains. Especially ones with more than 2 hyphens.
