Ofcource not!
Test what Brian made not truly shows real numbers first he made test on unloaded motor that means motor stoped and you cant see constant regeneration.
One guy made similar test but motor spinned by other that simulated a kinetic energy and constat braking aplied, motor under test didnt stoped other motor still spinn it. And he noticed too regen effect but its not constant just spikes. That is not regeneration in my understanding.
He noticed some funny effect too when ESC not connected and you spinn connected motor FETs acts as Diodes (Driver not drive them) and you can see true regeneration effect.
I anybody understands russian can read this:

All energy dispates by heat on fets and windings.
