But if you snap that pic, but never use it for anything because it looks slightly weird ... then you as well might not have the camera.

I always take a few snaps at events like that - not to capture the picture, but to capture the moment in my “digital memory” - if I’m on the ball, I later get some of the “official photos” and add those; but the phone camera snaps remind me that I was there, which turns out to be surprisingly useful.

I feel it’s still better than nothing, hence the saying holds true for me. “Best” does not imply “good”.
