I don't know why you'd think that. The man page is pretty clear to me.
The XRaiseWindow function raises the specified window to
the top of the stack so that no sibling window obscures
it.

I think all he said was that a raised window is still covered
by its children, which is not so surprising. I don't know
why he brought that up. I expect windows are always obscured
by their children in MS-Windows too.
