BGP routes from IGP and Dampening

Router B receives route 1 from router A through ospf; router B redistributes ospf into BGP; router B is advertising route 1 to router C via BGP.
Router B is configured for Dampening.
If route 1 flaps, it is not dampened.
That was I get on simulating it on lab.

I was expecting another behavior because this statement:

"I am advertising my IGP routes into BGP. My IGP routes are very unstable...Will route dampening solve the problem?
No. Configuring route dampening on your border router will prevent your routes from being advertised"
    Halabi chapter 10

Am I missing something?
