Why does it mean that?

Pot odds tell you when calling is better than folding. They don't tell you anything about whether raising is right, or whether betting is better than checking.
When you have a 4-flush on the flop and have odds to stay in, you expect to be taking down the pot 35% of the time (when your flush comes in.) If you raise and get say 3 callers, you are paying $1 now in exchange for a 35% chance a pot that is $4 larger, a long-run gain of 40 cents.
