Not exactly true actually

When calculating what your opponent might or has the ability of doing, their race matters, even if a special is not on the map, which obviously affects the actions you take. The easiest example of this is when playing against Feedback, I know I position units differently than other races because of the possibility of a hidden Scrambler. Scalliwags is probably easiest to play against if they never deploy a special because they really can't do anything tricky. The possibility of a mobi/scrambler being in the fog of war quite drastically changes the actions I take.
