reverse biased OPA2134 and they didn't die: how so??

... by mistake of course I reversed the +-15V power connections on a board with 3 OPA2134 and all I got was a, errr, high current on PSU until the shunt regulator smoked, but upon connecting it properly the board still worked with no *obvious* flaws. I thought all op amps would die in such a condition??
How likely is it that *non-so-obvious* performance degradation has occurred in the units due to this mishap?
Thanks,
