If you were stuck in cloud low on fuel and the nearest strip only had an NDB and you had an ADF, I think you would consider it worth your while! Why can't people just accept it as another "Get out of jail" card in their tool-box?
I don't think anyone is disputing that. It's not a 'I don't do them/I do do them' issue.
I might add that if you were low on fuel and stuck in cloud then some decision making processes had gone seriously wrong somewhere.
