Too spot-on. And I don't think of it as a pole track in the George Martin sense. It's a classic now, of course, but keep in mind that at the time it was dismissed by almost everyone (prior to Dec 8) as a weak piece of semi-nostalgia.
This is the sort of sequencing decision that comes from trying to go back to what things felt like at the time, which isn't always easy. Don't get me wrong: I love that track. But it sounded so different at the time...
