Yes, you would, and that is exactly my point. The recumbent example just illustrates that any position rotated around the bottom bracket has an ideal knee bend. So whether you are in a "tri" position with a very steep seat tube angle, or a recumbent with a very shallow seat tube angle, there is still an ideal position. A centimeter or two off of KOPS, in my mind, is no different than one of the extremes.
