NOT TRUE -- depending on the sensitivity of the Low Ohms scale on your 
VOM, it is VERY unlikely that your VOM can tell the difference between a 
connection direct to the chassis and a connection via the circuit board 
to the chassis. My Fluke, carefully calibrated and with compensation for 
the test leads can, but most VOMs cannot.
