In my very humble opinion, I'd say that's the best piece of advice in this thread. If your flight profile is vastly different to that of the majority of the pattern traffic, you could easily put yourself in a place where others don't expect you to be. It's no replacement for maintaining a proper lookout, but it helps mitigate the risk.
