I agree with Lloyd. It makes sense for Alan because he's a post-flop crusher. Where does he win most of his chips? By getting people to play with him post-flop. Heck, pot control is favorable for him because it limits the all-in move post-flop and keeps people playing poker with him.
We are not Alan, and we generally are not playing with deep stacks.
Here's some interesting thoughts from Howard Lederer about Alan:
