Exactly, they're something that can be used if you're not worried about the enemy knowing your location, etc but during the scouting and preparatory stages, stealth and minimising the intelligence information you're giving up to the enemy is vital. Even after contact has been made, information on troop numbers, movements, equipment, etc, etc, etc should not be given up lightly.
