Hi Stuart,
    You don't specify the signalling system going thru the connector. If the signalling system has the threshold assymetrically placed in the voltage supply range, then your statement is most probably
correct. If the threshold is equidistant from the edge of the power supply range, then VCC bounce is just as deadly as GND bounce.
