While possible the dealer would have to be pretty stupid to try this and there would be a big mess of oil still in the engine bay to support this claim. I thought the same thing, had it half written up and realized that would have been obvious and likely mentioned in one of the OP's two posts.
Not every blown engine ends with oil on the ground.
