Knob and Tube wiring

Knob and Tube wiring

Would you agree with this statement:
Only a short circuit (hot touching neutral) would cause a fuse to melt or trip a breaker with knob and tube wiring. With no ground wire a ground fault would not melt a fuse or tip a breaker.

Alright I'm bored and this just went through my mind....whats left of it.
