AS Hose necessary from DDU to tool?

[1-FENCE]

Hello,

Now that Oneida has revamped their DDU to protect CT via AS and grounding elements between DDU and CT, would any static electricity generated from dust traveling from tool to DDU be properly dissipated before reaching CT, thus protecting CT from potential circuit board damage?

Bottom line question: If above premise is correct, can one safely use non-AS hose from DDU to tool, at least insofar as protecting the CT is concerned?

Thanks
