Well, that's just not true. Most of the comments above are from reasonable people who have no difficulty conceiving the process damaging things other than the battery. I don't know anyone's level of expertise, but I'm not a complete ignoramus, I have a bachelors in engineering, and I can easily see how it might happen.
Which isn't to say that it could really happen. The answer to that would depend on facts and rules of design and testing that I don't know about. Which is why I asked, in case anyone does know.
