Not true at all. It has been reported as happening at multiple events, and I saw it in person at Buckeye. Teams have broken <G22> to free their alliance partners from their entanglement with the overpass. Having another robot able to play with you for an additional minute can (and should) net you far more than ten points, and I've seen very smart teams realize this and take the penalty.
