That hasn't been my experience.  I remember being called in to service a
fire alarm panel.  An exterior bell had taken damage from a lightning
strike on a fence adjacent to it.  The green light on the FACP was "on",
no troubles showing.  Yet you couldn't get the sucker to alarm or
respond to opens for anything.  When you look closer, the only thing
that wasn't "fried" on the mother board was the freekin' Power ON LED.

Dang.  Now you've gone and done it.  You've disagreed with something the
Guru's said.  Now you will face the WOG (Wrath Of the Guru).  You will
then experience ABSI (Attack By Subtle Innuendo) and this will escalate
quickly to wild stories about how you piloted a Boeing Passenger
Jet-Liner while you were inverted (or while you were standing up and the
plane was inverted or while you were sitting down and the stewardesses
were inverted - anyway while *something* was inverted or diverted or
reverted).
