Not true, actually. After further investigation it appears the type of steel used to construct the Titanic became somewhat brittle at low temperatures and this (along with substandard rivets) made the ship much more likely to suffer fatal damage from the impact. Better steel and better rivets may very well have kept the Titanic afloat.
Yes, I'm just disagreeing with you here for the sake of it.
