1/2 control file failure - will database halt?

I've been told a single control file failure will halt the database, even if you've got another control file on a second device; that the database will only come up again after editing the init.ora to remove the reference to the faulty control file and initiating a fresh startup.

Is this still true, if it ever was true for any version of Oracle, for Oracle 8.X+? The person who warned me about the halt has been using Oracle since version 5.

Thanks very much.
