I wish this is true but evidence is against you. Just try testing memory pressure on a no swap system. You will see that the system grinds to a half for a few minutes before you even get to an OOM event.

Could you clarify what exactly is "not true"? Also, could you explain what exactly your evidence proves? What do you think happens when the system becomes unresponsive under memory pressure, and why?
