To caulk or not to caulk

When installing a tub with surround such as this one 

should one caulk the joint between the surround and the tub?

I've always seen it caulked, but a plumber told me that doing so is actually counterproductive and encourages mold growth. He said that the surround overlaps the tub flange, so caulk is not needed.

What say you?
