If it weren't true, people would be jumping in with counterexamples all over the place and we'd never hear the end of it.
If you know of a counterexample, you should state what it is so readers can make up their own minds. Also, it's possible that we made a mistake, in which case a link would be helpful so we can correct it.
It's also possible that there were complicating factors. We've dealt with thousands of these cases. There's no easy formula for summing them all up. But the principles I just described here are certainly the ones we apply and the ones that we teach to moderators.
