Even if it is true, a UPS is worth every penny. Besides not loosing
whatever you are working on at the time, cutting the power can really
screw up the file-system. Many times have I seen fsck eat-up a
file-system after an unexpected crash/panic or power outage. I try
not to reboot the machines since boot-time seems to be the most likely
time for something to get really screwed.
