Keep the timer alive until the end of Main ?

i've got the code below:

using System;
using System.Timers;

public class Timer1
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Normally, the timer is declared at the class level, so
        // that it doesn't go out of scope when the method ends.
        // In this example, the timer is needed only while Main 
        // is executing. However, KeepAlive must be used at the
        // end of Main, to prevent the JIT compiler from allowing 
        // aggressive garbage collection to occur before Main 
        // ends.
        System.Timers.Timer aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();

        // Hook up the Elapsed event for the timer.
        aTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimedEvent);

        // Set the Interval to 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds).
        aTimer.Interval = 2000;
        aTimer.Enabled = true;
 
        Console.WriteLine("Press the Enter key to exit the program.");
        Console.ReadLine();

        // Keep the timer alive until the end of Main.
        GC.KeepAlive(aTimer);
    }
 
    // Specify what you want to happen when the Elapsed event is 
    // raised.
    private static void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
    }
}

The purpose of the instruction "GC.KeepAlive(aTimer);" is to keep the timer does not count until reaching the end of Main( ).Is this true ? ^~^
