It's beyond "sometimes makes it wise..."
It's more a case of you're always going to be at an efficiency disadvantage so how do you mitigate it quickly and effectively throughout the running? Like being in the outside post in a 5.5f turf sprint, possibly near the crown of the course. You're not starting from a geometrically/physically efficient position. But physics still applies.
