Will "apt-get upgrade" update the kernel on LTS?

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. My question is: Will running "apt-get upgrade" update the kernel? I have read in some untrusted places that only running "apt-get dist-upgrade" will update the kernel.

Is it true?

P.S.Logically I don't think it should update, as it is LTS (stable release).

Only those installing from the 12.04.2 or newer point release media
will automatically receive a newer enablement stack by default.

To remain on the original Precise stack, Install from a previous 12.04.0 or 12.04.1 point release and update. The previous 12.04.0 and 12.04.1 releases are archived here.
