I can agree with that in general terms but realize it's not always the case. In fact, it's not my preferred way to help someone get faster, although I understand that some riders do need to simply suck it up and go.
For example, my fastest laps ever turned at Mid-Ohio, Pitrace and Nelson felt slow as crap and was never once uncomfortable. It wasn't until after the race and looking at the scoresheets that I realized that I had broken my personal best times.
