Since most of the "big game" officials do not have the time (or the interest in some cases) to take part in a mentor program or go watch newer officials work, the benefit I see in having them work any game is the knowledge and advice they may impart on their partner (or the example of how to handle yourself and game situations).
That can be more valuable to the game in the long term than beneficial to the teams involved in the short term.
