Is it true and if so why? "Neither kqueue() nor poll() can handle all types of file-descriptors on MacOSX. The runtime system needs to be able to handle any type of file-descriptor that may appear. We are therefore forced to fall back on select() when a file-descriptor that cannot be handled by kqueue() appears."
