That's in fact a good point. Although hydrophobic substances seem not to be soluble in water (resulting in a two-phase system), small amounts of their molecules always migrate into the hydrophilic phase. So Rather Dashing's statement is true, but you really need loaaaaads of water to completely solve even a small amount of those substances.
