Sure; I was not suggesting that e.g. a soft field technique will be worse than a normal takeoff when departing from a muddy field.
What I meant is that I don't think doing a soft field technique from clean tarmac will be better than doing the normal technique from clean tarmac. The SF technique gets the aircraft off the ground sooner but at a big cost in drag.
