Not necessarily. False hitch often "looks" true...coupler can appear to be almost all the way down on the ball, it's just not latched. A trailer can go quite a ways before it jolts off the ball, especially if you've got weight distribution and/or sway bars hooked up too.
If WD is hooked up it is impossible for the hitch to come off the ball.
Try this for yourself to see.
Hookup everything. The unlatch the hitch. Now use the tongue jack to try to lift it off the ball.
It can't be done.

Unfortunately I drove home last Saturday with our brand new camper and found that the coupler wasn't latched when I got home. Completely my fault as I assumed it was done correctly. Oh how I was mistaken.
No WD and I'd been in trouble.
On a side note and possibly off topic. The guys that move units at the large campgrounds at Myrtle Beach never get out of their trucks to hook up, meaning they NEVER latch any of them. And they're going up to a mile away.
