Your understanding of that sentence was wrong and I want to ensure that no one else misunderstands... btrfs has a b-tree design that is less prone to fragmentation zfs has a fixed block design that is more prone to fragmentation If you think about b-trees vs fixed blocks and how fragmentation occurs, you'll quickly realize how this works. Thus, btrfs is "superior" and you will not need to run a 10hr defrag job on your Linux server using btrfs, while you may need to run it on your Solaris boxes running zfs.
