Ehm no, not true at all.

$ which tcsh
/bin/tcsh

Besides, the system doesn't just default to some random shell.
If you put #!/never/never/land at the top, the system says:

$ bash -c ./foo
bash: ./foo: /never/never/land: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
$ tcsh -c ./foo
./foo: Command not found.
$ csh -c ./foo
./foo: Command not found.
