i had heard NEVER to cover an existing oaks roots, especially live oaks
but
if it was a new planting, it could work
also, never drive trucks or machinery over live oak roots

It really depends on the variety of oak in question. There are many types of oaks. I have had no issues with red and white oaks in the midwest but I have never buried them with mulch and I kept the topsoil added to around 6-8" above roots as the final depth. The oaks didn't have many roots near the top anyway and the few that were, were not protruding above the soil.
I would highly recommend people read the actual university studies before dismissing it.
