What is a TTL 0 in CloudfrontCloudFront useful for?

Some weeks ago Amazon announced that they have lowerlowered the content expiration period.:

http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2012/03/19/amazon-cloudfront-lowers-minimum-expiration-period/Amazon CloudFront Lowers Minimum Content Expiration Period

So much that you can actually set now TTL in CloudfrontCloudFront to 0. So my question is, why could it be useful to have a cloudfrontCloudFront distribution with TTL set to 0. To me this means no caching at all so every request that gets to CloudfrontCloudFront will end up hitting the origin.

What I am I missing?
