If the card unholds itself, checking the hand will not show it, correct or not?

BTW in my instance, I stopped, looked to make sure all 5 were held, made sure my left hand was no where near the machine. Satisfied, I pressed the deal button, an bang it unheld the middle card. Was the press of the redeal the cause, or did just the correct vibration happen at the same time or something. We will never know.
