I'm not sure of the "expert" but they do hit valid points.

It's a very old parable/allegory... if a tree grows with water easily available near the surface, and never sees any wind (ie. life is too easy), the roots grow shallow and the first big wind will knock it over. If the water is deep and there's regular smaller storms (ie. faces lots of adversity), it has to grow its roots deeper, and will more easily withstand large storms.
Folk wisdom hangs around because there IS truth behind it.
