It seems to work well that way in the experimenting I've done.

I'm surprised, but if you say that it has worked for you then I'll
just have to remain surprised.

In general, getting the solder to wet both the tip and the work is the
essential part of transferring heat to the work. Heat transfer without
wetting is much poorer and is quite often insufficient for the job.
