If the starting positions are fairly far apart then it's safer to do this. You can also cancel the assimilator as it's about to be completed and then warp it back in, although you'll have to keep the probe alive for some time to do that, which can be pretty hard. But even if you don't, by the time Terran destroys the assimilator he'll be getting gas on around the 18th supply. Also, Terran isn't going to pull half of his SCVs off the minerals to kill it, he still needs a strong mineral flow so maybe he'll just use 2 SCVs and then marines as they come. The delay in gas makes it much more likely for a Terran player to play TvP as if it were TvZ, i.e. go 2/3 barracks M&M against you. I'd say it's more likely on close positions, e.g. 12 and 3 positions on LT.

Yeah, there have been thunderstorms where I live for the past few nights now, although during the day it's still quite hot and humid. However! Today it's feeling nice and cool, with a swift breeze coming in through the window.
