Cuttings in water vs soil


A quick search of the archives show that rooting certain types of cuttings
in water is popular among the list members here. I've used it to great
success myself on many occasions. However, recently I was told by a Master
Gardener that roots developed in water are not viable once the cutting is
potted. According to this gentleman, the 'water roots' will rot away and
the cutting will have to develop new roots specific to soil. I've never
heard of this before, does anyone here have any insight on this?
