That has been my experience. And it corresponds to the fashion of triathletes spinning their seat posts around for a forward offset to go with their aero bars positioned 8” below their saddles. It has been interesting to see how the time trial / triathlon fashion has evolved to higher handlebar positions, as people realize that being able to breathe is important (along with hip angles) and that, as long as your hands are in front of your face, you’re pretty much good to go for aerodynamics.
