Wasn't really thinking, Squid face makes a great point that our goal here is to take it down pre.
With that being said, the logic that you're applying to your argument could be used in the same way to praise a bad move - i.e. we're in BB in a 5 way limped pot, flop comes KT7r, SB leads for pot, we shove all in with 32o for 100 BB and everyone folds...We got the result of folding, yet it's still not a play we want to ever be making.
