Incorrect on both accounts. The distillates in diesel are different than gasoline, in that they have different ignition points and cetane ratings. Because of this, adding gasoline to diesel will inhibit the ignition in the diesel engine, just as adding diesel to a gasoline engine will cause the fuel to ignite too quickly.
