I wouldn't say never. LAX-NRT-SIN only adds a whopping 5 nm (by Great Circle) each way vs. direct LAX-SIN mileage. SFO-NRT-SIN and SFO-SIN direct mileage changes by 2nm. Granted, upgrades and other things have to be taken into account, but I wouldn't say never.
I accepted 891 because I could get it confirmed all the way through, but am returning through SEA to earn a few extra segs that I'm missing out on earning as a result of the direct flight.
