Does force quitting apps before they fully launch cause any damage? (OSX)

Asked by Spargett (5395points) February 26th, 2008

As I’m sure we’ve all done, sometimes I accidently launch the wrong app from my dock, and then force quit it as soon as I realize I’ve made the mistake. Does this cause any damage to apps or system files in anyway?

I understand if you have an application fully open you’ll loose saved work etc, but I’m asking about something different.
