I understand your point, and yes, it works in some contexts e.g. I sometimes ride wide into blind bends on country lanes to be seen sooner by anyone cutting the corner coming the other way (more time for both parties to shift position) - more often in the daytime.
But in the particular instance I'm alluding to, it had exactly the opposite effect. I blame myself really, for forcing the other person to ride out of his skin attempting to keep up with me. Poor bloke couldn't think straight due to exhaustion ;)
