Concrete adheres to steel so that statement can't be true. The steel and concrete become one. Also alot of thermal expansion coefficients involved, but you'll have to ask a physics person about that. As I understand it, steel and concrete expand at the same rate, so reinforced concrete can still crack. I've seen it :)

Rebar is mostly used to resist tension, shear, bending, as well as compression forces. Thats why I can drive a skid steer across a sidewalk and it doesn't break.

So it is very possible that a 4" slab might never crack given the concrete was properly cured and of high quality.
