Sure, but I think this difference is very far from plain in the
marketing literature promoting MySQL with InnoDB. You actually need
to understand the difference between MySQL and its storage engines to
understand why this is the case, and one can't really expect people
who are evaluating different systems to know all that sort of detail
in advance.
