Absolutely wrong ^^^^^^^^^^
I tried seating a high primer on a completed round and it went bang in the press. 7 stitches and $2,000 emergency room visit later so they could remove part of the case the was embedded in my forearm proves your statement wrong
Reloaders have formed a few bad habits, some have gone to sizing loaded ammo in a body die, There is a chance the powder trickled down through the flash hole and filled the area in front of the primer meaning when the primer was seated there was no room for it.

Bad Habit: There is a chance powder in the case could have trickled down through the flash hole and filled the primer meaning there is no room for the primer to move forward when seating. We had a member blow his thing off the handle of his inertia bullet puller. For the most part the accident was blamed on the use of a shell holder. No one considered the sudden stop of the hammer against the concrete drive could seat the primer and then cause a slam fire. The problem was given a lot of attention because he was pulling bullets in a crowd.

There was no way the shell holder in an inertia puller puller could slide over on top of the primer except on the smallest of cases. When pulling bullets on the smallest of cases use 'o' rings to center the case.
