One really good reason to sit out is boredom. If you are getting a run of crap cards sometimes its just a temptation to call because you have the lead and figure "I'll just take a look at the flop". I have won tourneys by using sitting out at some point in the game. It allows me to refocus on the game. As to having an advantage staying in, again what is the difference between folding every hand or just sitting out? I am saying that it is a useful tool in your playing skills and you shouldn't naysay it. I do it when I feel it will give me an advantage. 
Sitting out is still being a factor in the game. You have the chip lead. You are still controlling the table because everyone is trying to catch you. You are making the decision as to when to go back in. And in some games I have gone back in with killer hands winning the pot then sitting out again. After doing that a few times you can come back in and steal blinds that way.
Its not for everyone to do. It is just another weapon in your arsenal of poker playing skills. Don't knock it.
