Hello Don,
No doubt about that specially when we look at late machine being puttying on these area to make them smooth.
Another reason:
During the sixties and 70s the aerodynamic lessons given at SUPAERO Toulouse used a book (I had, or maybe I still have) in which full chapter was dedicated to Bernoulli number and surface effect using ... Me262 example were riveted skin and puttyied skins were both studied!
