Is there any circumstances that would require a Magento developer to use Mage::getResourceModel(), apart from when using collections?

I have been developing for a while in Magento now and have yet to come across a circumstance where I need to use Mage::getResourceModel() on its own.

    When you’re using a model/resource model pair that doesn’t fall into the standard CRUD pattern, and you want to directly call a public method of the resource model.

    A few examples off this in the code base (off the top of my head)

    Mage/Admin/Model/Session.php
100:                $this->setAcl(Mage::getResourceModel('admin/acl')->loadAcl());
138:            $this->setAcl(Mage::getResourceModel('admin/acl')->loadAcl());

Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Catalog/Product/Attribute/Set/Main.php
179:        $configurable = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_type_configurable_attribute')
191:            $nodeChildren = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection')
233:        $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection')
243:        $attributes = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_attribute_collection')
