Well, you're still spending a move action and possibly your interceptor in order to continue to explore, rather than just discarding the hex. Seems questionable.
I hear what you're saying, but if I didn't place that hex, then one of my opponents definitely would have. And who's to say that I would've drawn a more productive hex on my next Explore? At least I had something to show for the Action, and would've had as many Actions going into the next Turn (which is one of the things I love about drawing Ancient hexes).
I think that Ancient hexes are the best draw, on the basis that they award the player that kills them not only good resources, but also a ton of VP's (1-3 points for the Influencing the hex, 2 points for the Discovery Tile, and 1-4 points of Reputation).
