Butternut Cross Pollination

I have been told for years from garden masters that Butternut squash will not pollinate with another squash, yet in your article RE: Cucumbers Cross Pollinating with Squashes, you say that they do. Why is that? I have not had this happen to me as of yet and I grow zucchini and Butternut squash together for quite some time now.
With thanks.
