Yes, but only if both are ceramic
Not true ... doesn't matter if one, or both, are ceramic ... the test is still valid.
On any ceramic bearing the ceramic balls will insulate the center steel retainer cage, from both the inner and outer races of the bearing .... there will be no conductivity from the steel retainer cage through the ceramic balls to either the inner or outer race of the bearing, or any other part of the engine .... doesn't matter if the bearing(s) is attached to the crankshaft ... doesn't matter if the crankshaft is in or out of the block ... and doesn't matter if one, or both, of the bearings are ceramic.
