any truth to slight elevation on draw shots?

I've heard a few people say you should elevate your cue slightly on draw shots (I'm thinking specifically of power draw shots, where I have some trouble). Mostly though I've heard to keep the cue as level as possible, obviously it will not be completely level. What do you think of the advice to have slightly more elevation than strictly necessary for power draw shots? Perhaps it is to give the CB a slight jump to maintain spin? What if it's not quite that much of a power shot where you'd need that? Is it one of those things where good players have a habit that might not be good to teach? Of course I'm aware of the danger of hitting the CB off-center if you use an elevated cue.
