Well, yes, that is not in question.
I have that sort of issue infrequently, whereas flats with no liner and ultra thin racing tires happen much more frequently. I have robust flat protection AND carry at least one tube, a patch kit, and a micro frame pump. Its just that I have to use my spares a lot less often.
