Per the research at Sterling ropes, best evidence available suggests that's just not the case so long as the dynamic rope is the attachment to the system. The numbers suggest no shockloading and, at times, lower forces than the initial impact.
Until someone can point me to *other* available evidence suggesting otherwise, I'm sticking with the best evidence we have at this time.
