This statement may not be true if you are using the weak signal
modes which allow reception to as much as 20 dB below the noise
floor. With these modes, you will still need to receive the signal.
(These modes work because the signal isn't random but the noise
is. By averaging the signal and noise, the noise tends to cancel
out while the signal comes through.)

Since it's not possible to hear signals below the external
noise floor, it doesn't buy you anything to have more
sensitivity than the noise floor.
