Sorry, forgot to google first and supply the facts.

I forgot to add the "this isn't meant as a personal slight, just a
colloquialism" tag to the "Can you say", sorry.

In testing to verify whether our SCSI was in spec or not we went through a
ton of tests and our SCSI expert had to know that everything started at 0.
He did as much of his SCSI coding in assembler as was possible. Speed
demon. Never said powering down brought anything into spec. What it did was
level the playing field to the least common denominator so he had a
reference point to measure what was or wasn't in spec.

I see others did do some googling on this phenomenon and came up with real
evidence...
