The writers seem to be backing this up via implication onscreen.

But then you end up with stupid and inexplicable scenarios, like Scott nearly shifting when mad at his father, but not being able to use Alpha-level strength when attacked by Berserkers. As with so much else about the show, there is no canon. Everything is fluid depending on the needs of the current scene.
