NO :-/

Yes, as well as the user "oswald"
But now I understand, apparently this means as long as root, or a
user who is allowed to shutdown another person who does not have this
privilege can also shutdown the pc. This is what just happened, I tried
it, root and "oswald" were logged out, and this time I got the
error.
Thanks for your question, I think this got me looking in the right
place :-)
