what about the stress caused from accidentally over ferting during flowering, I think you'd see alot less shock with soil.

I'm not sure, but if I sit down and think about it (well actually i was already sitting down, but anyways) since the problem in hydro would be fixed much quicker, i would tend to think the stress would actually be less than in soil. Soil holds its nutrients long after you flush the soil. You can't get out every nutrient, therefor there is always a delay in seeing the response of the plant in soil. So when you actually see nutrient burn in soil, it is actually a result of a plant being abused for quite some time (unless you dump in a half of bag of miracle gro) causing quite a bit of stress. Then take into account the added stress of the plant taking a while to flush out and heal back to normal. In hydro, it's more like botta-bing (oops i f-ed up) to botta-boom (there all better now).
