From your "experience", what makes you think this?

If you go back and READ what I already wrote:
The Microchip implimentation of SPI Slave select is:
Enable the data out pin, and reset the bit counter of the clock.
(Sync. the data byte.)

The SPI will interrupt weather or not the SS pin is active.
