If you're using heavy compression to squeeze out the last dB on material that is already high level most of the time you're right. OTOH, compressing a classical piece from 40dB dynamic range to just a few dB is certainly 'over-compressing' to my taste, yet it would probably make little or no differerence to the value measured by 'normalize -n'.
