This assertion makes no sense. RAII is not defined by whether you use factory functions or special member functions to initialize an object. In fact, RAII is only incidentally related ro memory management. RAII is a strategy to manage any and all types of resources, ranging from memory management to even files and TCP connections, by leveraging assurances that the runtime provides regarding scopes and object life cycles. None of this changes if you employ factory functions to initialize resources.
