This is a valid point.
However, in short handed play, and at higher stakes where you are almost always heads up in a pot, fading some boards to realize equity seems to be the skill component. For instance, A4 is usually going to draw to second low since a lot of boards contain a 2 or a 3 which may have wrecked the hand that is firing 2 barrels at you.
And "calling down" against a skilled opponent is usually just bad poker, barring a very few scenarios.
