Default Agonists can contribute to PD..?!?!

I was reading wikipedia.org, which is written collaboratively by people from all around the world so it's not always factual.

I read, "Dopamine agonists can also eventually contribute to Parkinson's disease symptoms by increasing the sensitivity of dopamine receptors" under the PD link.

Any one ever heard that one before?
I was always told by my neuro that some agonist "may be" neuroprotective.


PD wiki link, it's under the Drug Induced section:
