Except Sandy King, a very experience photographer and printer, does 
exactly that.  On his Creo Eversmart he's found that if he scans at a 
very high interpolated resolution that this scan is better once it's 
resized back down to the optical resolution of his scanner than if he 
scans directly at the optical resolution.  The key here is to not follow 
dogma.  Try things for yourself and see what you get.
