Well now, @pantdino , back in the 80's or earlier, you would have been correct most of the time.

I had the same misconception until ol @Ultramaroon enlightened me.

The TOB in our cars is an "active" type, meaning it's spinning any time the engine is running. True, it's under pressure only when the clutch is pushed it.
