I dunno, I never heard that from the trainers at the gym. Cardio knocks off the fat and water weight, which helps get you cut, but my understanding is that the low weight reps sculpts the muscle. Why aren't all long distance runners and swimmers cut? Swimmers in particular have very rounded, not very well defined muscle mass. The muscle is there, it's just not cut.
In any case, this is irrelevant. The point is that you CAN get cut, you CAN get a well-defined musculature and you can get in good cardio shape. It's just like everything else in life: You get back what you put into it. If you're willing to do the work, you'll get the results.
