It would not be entirely the same in the sense that all
reimplementations of isActivated (such as in PeriodicEngine, the
collider etc) would have to check that flag as well; if someone would
forget to to check it in isActivated, the result would be odd. In this
case, it is the code that calls the engine who checks it, which is never
bypassed.
