Nonsense.
I think what was meant was sneak path through the coolant to ground due to bad main ground, not the entire current from the accessories going through the coolant. I've had a very loose ground strap which caused my instrument cluster trace to burn out while trying to repeatedly start the engine, which just clicked. Same phenomenom.
