No, it just has to be correctly designed.

For integral Hz resolution output, you want to feed it a frequency
with us 2^N(*10^M) where N is equal to the width of the accumulator.

However, don't overlook the value of a small frequency offset, which,
if used correctly, can be used as a 'vernier' to discover minute
unlinearities in timing circuits.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
