Output Drops

Have an instructor that claims the "drops" counter on an interface does not really indicate the packets have been dropped. Instead, this is a temporary condition where the packet cannot be added to the queue but the packet is not lost.

Can this be true?

I don't think so. If it doesn't go on the queue, where would it get held? And in that case, why not put it on the queue?
