TPS2660: SHDN Pullup Resistor

Part Number: TPS2660

Hello,

In another e2e thread, it was advised that:

"It is OK to leave SHDNb pin unconnected if you are not using the Shutdown functionality. But please note that the internal pullup is very week and need to consider external pullup if you require rugged operation."

I'm looking for some clarification around the term "rugged".    Is there a concern that noise injected into this node may cause undesirable operation?
