Yes but I can say the same for the electronic pickup once it's installed properly. If you look at the primary and secondary spark on an electronic scope you will see just how good your distributor and points and condensor are. It will show you the spark bouncing if the distributor bearings are worn and it will show you distortions if the points are worn and/or dirty. The electronic sensor is less affected by worn bearings and there are no parts that wear and need to be replaced regularly.

EDIT - The electronic magnetic pickup also is not affected by a worn point cam.
