Virtually all foundations systems have flaws that will allow water to penetrate. Houses are not built like boats. The more flaws there are, the more severe wet basement problems can be.
I should emphasize, though, that if no water collects against the outside of the foundation wall, the basement will be dry no matter how leaky the foundation wall is. That’s why the best line of defense is the surface water control we talked about with gutters and downspouts and lot grading.
