Even if it does, those methods should count consistently rather than only sometimes. There must be a difference between species that can explain the different outcomes, if not then it's still inconsistent.
Using the two criteria you describe, we should not anticipate vampires being put to sleep while mummies and grey draconians are not. It would be *really* strange to claim mummies don't have eyes or something while they lack inherent sInv. Much more reasonable to conclude this is not working as intended.
