News to me, but this sounds like a theory that may have resulted in a little more fatigue in the rear delts, giving the impression by the subject that the lats had been hit due to doms in the general area. Wide grip rows will generally place the emphasis on the rear delts, mid traps & rhomboids more than the lats. It's impossible to say this would work for everyone due to everyone having slightly different insertion points, varying degrees of shoulder position when training etc. The lats are such a massive group of fibres that it's virtually impossible to fire off a selected portion at will, or even force it with a different grip. The muscle is designed to work as a whole.
P.S JW007, I could put 2" either side on your lat spread with some tweaks to your posing, but a fine pair of wings either way.
