Since I'm talking about strict pot odds, it is accurate. What you're describing are effective odds. These take into account the possibility that you miss on the turn and have to call another bet (presumably > 1/6 the pot) to see the river.
But just as pot odds don't tell the whole story, neither do effective odds. If opp makes the flush on the turn, and Hero mistakenly bets into himher, then opp will win more than what is presently (3 to 1) in the pot. Those, of course, are the implied odds.
So, in a sense, the weakening from effective odds is offset by the strengthening from implied odds.
The overall point is simply that taking away the "strict" pot odds in a decisive manner is the proper way to protect a made hand.
