Yes, any "blocking" on the internal lock is not semantic blocking due to the use of the Shared lock itself, but merely a technical aspect, not semantically visible to the program.  It is equivalent to the operating system pausing the thread, a techical detail opaque to the user program and somethign it cannot affect or influence.

"Blocking" in the sense of the lock is due to the semantic use of the lock itself and the resources that it protects.
