Yeah, that's true
TBH, If I'm going after wonders earlier, I've been more obsessed with ToA, SH, HG, Pyramids combo. ToA + SH + Pyramids all give GE pts and HG gives the free garden, so this spawns a GE pretty quickly, which can be used to rush another wonder that I would otherwise miss (e.g., Petra, Oracle, etc.). These wonders also give a nice combo of benefits:
ToA: Growth + boost to overpowered ranged unit production
SH: Religion (useful for civs who don't get any faith bonus), which can also be used to prioritize growth, via food and/or happiness
HG: Growth + free garden
Pyramids: 2 workers + faster improvements
Pretty sweet when you can string these together. I find I can do it fairly consistently on emperor, especially with Ramesses, but I have to make sure that I am buying defensive units not settlers or else I have found myself invaded with large armies (Japan, Greece, Bablyon, etc.) that I can't stop.
