Dale,

    Pearl knotting can be time consuming, but the result is quite
    beautiful. The knotted necklace is more aesthetically pleasing to
    the eye, as each bead has its own individuality........knotting
    prevents the beads from getting lost if ever broken. Beads are more
    secure when knotted together. Knots also protect the nacre of the
    pearls from rubbing against one another. 

    Enlighten your salesman he is wrong. IMHO. 

hope this helps
