Agreed - this is much easier than placing the ligand and then having to run
SA.  I suspect this is a case where "oral tradition" has been
misinterpreted, since everyone is told that the SA omit map is the
"standard" for showing unbiased difference density, and they don't realize
that it's better to simply avoid the bias to begin with.
