While this is mostly true, it isn't always necessarily the case. I've had Calibre convert a regular quote to the wrong smart quote and THAT was the only one that was off. In other words, there wasn't an imbalance until the one was incorrectly converted. I don't think this just happens our of the blue though. It almost always happens on a rare sentence or paragraph that starts with an open quote and then an em dash. I think this just confuses the conversion engine but I'm not sure why.
At least this has been my experience.
