If you mean by the term of "You can't have root in Android 4.0.4",you're wrong
If you mean by the term of "You can't direct root in Android 4.0.4",you're right
To gain root access in Android 4.0.4,you need to install a Gingerbread firmware (.58 and older or .62 [if you are now with root access]) with a root access,and then follow up the thread (should be stickied in this General discussion),I'll edit this post when I found the thread
EDIT : Found the thread xD here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1568792
if you have Gingerbread,read 2a
if you have ICS ICS 4.1.A.0.562,read 2b
if you have ICS 4.1.B.0.431,read 2c (op have made a mistake,he typed 0.531 instead of 0.431 xD)
