This has always been an interesting viewpoint. It makes all the sense in the world. Over 162 games the #1 spot is going to get more plate appearances than any other spot, so wouldn't you want your absolute best hitter there, regardless of any and all other info.
I personally don't do that with my lineup construction, but I've always felt that the logic behind it really seemed to make sense.
