I'd imagine that one reason someone would say this would be the fact that there is a difference - in both size and shape - between smoothed and unsmoothed mesh.
So, when user is trying to follow the curves of an aircraft fuselage (say) ... do they place their geometry in a position such that it's (more) correct after smoothing ... or before ... and accept the changes?
Similar issues invariably occur during re-topo ops too.
All depends on the degree of accuracy being sought and what the model's purpose is, methinks.
