Game-world size of hexes

Since the hexes themselves don't exist in the physical world, but are just a tool, would it make sense to logically separate the hex grid from the map, and slide the grid over half a hex in your mind when convenient?

As long as everyone's mind is sliding in the same direction I guess that would work. But minds are tricky things: sometimes it's almost like they think for themselves.

If a character is in a half-hex, there's only one way to virtually "slide" the grid underneath them to put them in a full hex. It's not hard.
