No, in an ideal world that would be true, the problem is we
don't live in an ideal world. The difference would be that if you
cut the white wires and held one in each hand in an unbalanced load
situation you would have current flowing thought you.

You don't have to cut the white wire to get yourself in trouble.
Touching an exposed part of an *intact* neutral creates a parallel
path to ground through your body. Depending on how the resistance of
that path is, you could be in serious trouble.

True.
