I am afraid that statement is just not correct.
UPS's aren't (uninterruptable).  And cheap
ones especially so.

I have experience with the cheap small
ones and even large datacenter and
industrial units with diesel backup.  I have
seen them all fail (obviously in different
ways).  Some (especially the cheap ones)
just decided that today was a good day to
die (hard).

Now, I will agree that the failure modes and
the timing or occurrence of the events may
end up being different, but never say never,
again.
