True/False

A quality assurance engineer is verifying an automated script that simplifies the mathematical expression 32x5y84\sqrt[4]{32x^5y^8}, which represents a material's stress tolerance in a manufacturing model. The script simplifies this expression to 2xy22x4{}2xy^2\sqrt[4]{2x} without using any absolute value signs.

True or False: This simplification is mathematically correct because absolute value signs are never required when extracting variables from an even root.
