This is actually a good thing anywhere .... rider judgment applied first of course.
As you note, ti tells drivers, "I know you are there and am making things easy on everyone." Looking back (even a fake look) can be helpful for the same reason.
One a couple particularly twisty roads, I will take the lane through corners and then pull over as soon as the e road straightens ... a lot of time I know the driver won't pass because s/he would have to really nail it to get by before the next corner ... but it shows I am trying if I don't hear a roaring engine, i move back to the middle for the next curve.
