That is indeed false. The fs hang can well have simple hardware reasons, too.
In fact it is a good idea and defensive programming style to not count on
everybody being perfect - just like you should act on the street where you
should not count on perfect drivers in other cars, too.

Lets say your favourite hd controller just died half way, you cannot blame the
kernel for keeping networking up, but all fs related just block.
