In terms of the point estimates, quite right. But in an application such as IV regression, you want to get not only the same point estimates but the same interval estimates that you would without partialling. Eric's reference shows that the partialled and unpartialled equations have the same residuals, which implies they have the same point estimates. But they do not have the same interval estimates, nor do the partialed and unpartialed equations have the same summary statistics.
