What you say is true, but If i have three high cards to a royal (so that pairing any high card will give me my money back) I would drop the pair to draw to the royal.

Example:

As Ks Js Jh 3c I would gladly hold the three spades in this example. I'm not playing this hand to get a pair. I'm playing this hand to get a royal or even a straight or a flush is better than a pair of jacks.
