Ah ok. Yes, anything from oil to a pole forcefully shoved between can break the friction lock. But a friction lock is still a lock. So many fasteners use nothing but friction, nails for instance, lag bolts, staples. Just as a friction lock can be broken by 'certain circumstances', so can other means of fastening or locking. Gears and bolts can be sheared, welds broken, etc.
