I really don't think that being a curiosity helps much.

Presentations are a cost. If they won't lead to funding, they give information to the VCs, they waste your time, and they get your hopes up and then slowly disappoint you.

If being a curiosity gives a negative first impression, this likely outweighs any additional time to speak.
