I guess it depends how you look at things. 'Puncture resistant' tubes made of thicker rubber aren't impervious to perferation by metal wire bits from steel belted tires. One puncture and you're still flat. Any sealant filled tube, on the other hand, can protect against multiple perferations and you probably wouldn't even notice.
