Absolutely. I don't think anyone disagree with this if you put it to them in these terms. Robbob put it really well above when he talked about a "threshold". The question is where that threshold is - where is the point, beyond which, the "keep right except to pass" rules go out the window because there's enough traffic that the most efficient traffic flow is promoted by using the entire carrying capacity of the road more or less equally. The point at which that threshold has been exceeded is going to be "common sense" to everyone, but obviously different people will have a different idea of what that means.
What Enoch was suggesting on the prior page is that if someone is passing you on the right, there must be enough room in front of him for him to manage to pass you on the right, and therefore there probably isn't enough traffic congestion for that threshold to have been reached.
