I am sure there is an exception to the general rule I just don't know what it is. I would go with the experts. I am guessing the benefit of doing that would outweigh the negative. If there's one thing that I have learned in my very short and very basic gathering of aerodynamic knowledge is that there aren't many things out there that don't have some sort of trade-off.
