I'd like to know the mechanics reasoning begind that claim.

I did have a problem one time in 12 years because i forgot to tighten the thumb wheel tite enuf. But that was MY fault, NOT the disconnects fault. It is important to check thumb wheel tightness every so often. I suppose it could loosen due to road vibration. That's about the only reason i can think of. If there is something else i'd sure like to know what it is.
