I don't believe this is what people are saying here. What they are saying is, ordinary semiconductors won't demodulate RF levels produced by an unintentional radiator.

I have tested a product which was little more than an LM324 quad op-amp for RF immunity using IEC 61000-4-3. This op-amp has a slew rate of 1V/micro-second on a good day with the wind in its favour. It was housed in an unshielded plastic enclosure.

Demodulated noise that exceeded the (not very tough) product specification were seen all the way up to 500MHz at a number of spot frequencies that appeared to be due to the natural resonances of the input and output cables.
