So I've been using guard stance in one unit battles for a long time now. The myth has been that the attack rate of that unit actually increases if the unit is guarding itself.
I did a very simple test last night about whether this was true and it seems as if the guarded unit has a faster initial attack speed for the first attack.
Some time next week I'll boost the attack of each unit and go for a more prolonged test to actually prove the theory but for now this is what I have:

It's possible that someone else may have already done this research but I haven't seen it yet.
