Funny N,

I don't think you can generalise to this extent. It may be true for
some caps - but it certainly isn't true for others. And I'm not sure
how you can tell beforehand.

My take would be that even when the cap is not going to be damaged,
the voltage limit relates to where the cap is likely to fail
specification.
