I photograph a lot of wildlife, and unfortunately they refuse to pose. Many many "great" moments captured, on the wrong side of the sun.
The technique can even out the lighting (fairly efficient when you take a picture of a document, and end up with one sight lighter than the other) but isn't a panacea against bad lighting.
When I shoot wildlife, I take the other approach... I search animals where they can make good shots. No time wasted making unusable pictures :
When the sun is low if you have it in your back your prey doesn't see you in the blaze...
