That isn't quite true, because the cloth will still follow whatever it collides with in a "realistic" way. Say you have a dress on a character in frame 1, and in frame 30, you have moved the character forward 10 feet. The simulation is set to have the dress collide with all body parts of the figure. Without parenting, if the dress fits character , the dress will "blow in the wind" in a fairly realistic way as the character moves forward. I don't really see any benefit in leaving a cloth item parented to a figure, except maybe just to set the scene up at frame 1 and then un-parent it. It's OK if the dress does not follow the character around before running the simulation, that's the point of running the dynamic cloth sim.
