If after betting and getting called in a particular spot, we win 10% of the time and lose 90% it's not a profitable* bet. We may lose less than by check calling, so it could be the better option (which is your point) In the extreme case when he never bluffs, c/f would be better. Our options are to lose 1BB, .8BB, 0BB in that case.
* In the strict sense of producing a profit in itself.
