Bah Humbug could prolly explain hip angles and whatnot that's involved.
Yep, when attempting to get into part of a more-TT position (in the drops), you want it to be mirrored in the hips to maintain the same hip angle, yes. If you keep your same spot on your saddle and move from the hoods to the drops, your hips will close and you'll (probably) lose power. It also puts more weight on the front wheel and through your hands, so you generally don't want it to be your default without... aerobars and arm cups. It's fine for short efforts though.
