Such a statement assumes they are semantically equivalent. However, I believe they aren't. A specific usage pattern can be expressed with any of them, for such a usage pattern, you can come up with a ranking even. For example, to check whether a single specific file descriptor is ready, I would assume that poll is best (even better than epoll and kqueue). To check whether file descriptor 0 is ready, I would assume that select is even better.
