A big +1 to that. You will have a day or so of desperate remorse, and will regularly feel the urge to check to see if the brake is catching or if the hub is spinning smoothly or if the tire is flat, because you will simply not believe that a bicycle wheel could cause that much resistance in the 21st century.
You will go on to curse the fact that it isn't perfectly true, and will thoroughly fume when it begins to wobble RIDICULOUSLY at high speeds while cornering, and finally, you'll lovingly re-arrange the letters on the logo to spell something funny, and will ride the damn thing every day with a smile on your face, safe in the knowledge that 99% of the people who see you won't care about your bike at all, and that 99% of the 1% will laugh at your aerodynamically inferior component. the 0.01% accounts for blind people.
