I don't doubt your recall, Peter, as I'm sure I was taught the same.
However, check out:

Interesting. Oh well...

I'm at least relieved to find that it is indeed the case that the melting
point changes with pressure, and that it changes very little. It just
changes a lot less than I even suspected.

The explanation on that page *is* a little confusing though. I think they
got their math right, but the wording is odd. They start out talking about
the reduction of freezing point, but then later talk about an increase in
the temperature of the ice. The two are not really the same, even if they
result in the same effect.
