Dunno :-)

One of the outages we had was due to a large DDoS attack against JANET
which meant we only had partial connectivity; some things worked, some
didn't, but our DNS resolvers were particularly badly affected. So though
you might be able to get your network to return ICMP failures quickly if
you have lost connectivity cleanly, that might not make sense in a dirty
outage.
