RE: dbshut script - shutdown or shutdown immediate

Suppose you have a database with a sid of mydb running on unix. Shutdown abort is like doing the following from the unix command line: ps -ef | grep mydb | grep -v grep | xargs kill -9. All the processes that make up the instance or processes that are connected to that instance are killed. The database will require instance recovery on the next start.

Well... my official oracle instructor in dba larva school said that it's tantamount to crashing the db--or so I recall anyway. This isn't so?
