True. Though it seems to me that given the fact that whatever the equity actually calculates to in a particular hand, you certainly have a "piece" of a pot where you have a flush draw and overcards, it makes it easier / more +EV to make an aggressive play based on a read (i.e., even if the read turns out to be wrong, you still have decent equity / outs). Whereas without the draw, you better be right that the villain is FOS. 
In other words, the pot equity concepts that you were discussing with me not only apply to the issue of simply exploiting your equity advantage by raising a draw, but also increase the value of bluffs / semi-bluffs.
