Nope.
Incorrect.
Just do a vector op - in this case, rotate.
Doing it this way

keeps the names
lets user select the rotate origin (in this case) ... rather than wings using one based on the geom.

If the geom is trivial / symmetrical (as with the 2 spheres ex) then it's also a trivial task to know what elements to choose to centralise the origin.

If you want / need a non-central rotate axis ... then you've got to do a vector rotate op anyway, since grouping won't guarantee the correct positioning.

Obviously I accept / acknowledge that there's general issues here that need sorting ... but the original statement is wrong.
