The limited experience derived from maintaining just two males together cannot be used to base such a blanket statement. There's always exceptions, but the fact remains that males often do fight when housed together, and if there's a female in the area it's pretty much unavoidable. Just because your two happen to get along is no basis to discount the known facts about the species.
Sexually mature males are territorial by nature, and while you may sometimes find two submissive dragons that get along well, most often one will assume the dominant role and berate the other into submission which can in itself bring about several other problems.
Any attempt at housing two males together should always be in the absence of females and be closely monitored for several weeks after sexual maturity.
