As a response header, this isn't true;

14.9.1
[...]
no-cache
If the no-cache directive does not specify a field-name, then a cache MUST
NOT use the response to satisfy a subsequent request without successful
revalidation with the origin server. This allows an origin server to prevent
caching even by caches that have been configured to return stale responses
to client requests.
