I am sure that has been the case and will be again. Having said that, even a mediocre draw, say 2.5 seconds, doesn't leave you a lot of time to cut. If you observe and recognize a threat 1.25 seconds earlier, you've gained the same advantage as if you had cut your draw time in half via practice.

It seems to me that if it works against an opponent who is expecting you to be armed, it should also work fine against one who doesn't expect it - with the added bonus that if your attacker happens to be competent, you may be less likely to get ventilated.
