I don't disagree with that. When we were playing I didn't have the entire labyrinth laid out (that's just plain silly). I think it originally started with someone asking if since we have explored the area and have it mapped could I just leave it up ( I suppose they thought it would be for convince sake).

I usually place and remove tiles roughly in line with what is visible to the players, but sometimes I'll leave something up if it seems likely they will go back through a certain area.

Another thing I like the tiles for is designing dungeons. Making maps on hex paper is sufficiently counter-intuitive that I'll often lay out a section and then once I have it the way I like it I'll draw it.
