I think in most cases you're right, however my Panasonic crt rptv that I purchased in 2004 had burn-in from a network logo on a news broadcast that I watched for about 40 minutes or so every morning. And this happened in spite of my changing the aspect ratio occasionally in an effort to make sure this didn't happen, and the fact that the logo was not on the screen during commercial breaks. And I find it ironic that I got burn-in through normal television viewing, but got none at all from my video games which you'd think would be the most likely cause. Go figure.
While burn-in is in most cases an unlikely event, there may still be certain sets that are still quite vulnerable to it. Unfortunately for me, my set must have been one of them.
