In principle I agree, Sean. But there's just something about the light catching the bell of a tuba as the player bows. I still have a mental image of Floyd Cooley taking a bow with his horn tucked under his arm back in the 70's after playing the snot out of Carnival of Venice (he played it standing) and the stage light reflecting off bell at some point during the bow.
Of course, if you're not built like Floyd, that can be a problem, too!
