From what I've seen this year, Alabama Power has exhibited an ability to adjust the lake easily to prevent even the slightest chance of a flood condition you speak of, and without opening a floodgate. With near record rainfall they have not even had a rise of 5' and that rise was to allow the Coosa system to drain first. The lake is high now because they are keeping Thurlow down 10' till mid March. The highest this lake has ever been in 80+ years was 491'. That's one foot above full pool; even FEMA doesn't say you are in a flood plain if you house's lowest floor is above 492'. Your statement may hold water for lake's with flood easements like Logan Martin, Smith, or Allatoona, but not Martin.
