In previous papers simple and intuitively obvious bounds were suggested for various overflow systems and claimed to be insensitive, that is to be valid also in the non-exponential case. This insenstivity was formalized when the service distributions have a monotone failure rate. This technical note provides another proof which for the case of a pure overflow system with one customer class extends the insensitivity to the general case.
