But in the real world, other people don't always set up their network channels using any kind of logic. If you're close to networks using channels 3 and 13, the best thing to do would be to use channel 8 yourself.

Yes, but that scenario is highly unlikely, especially if you don't live in a rural area with no WiFi around you.
And that is because IT manufacturers have started to use channels 1, 6 and 11 as default channels. So if you run an WiFi scan, it's much much more common to find lots of APs broadcasting on channels 1, 6 and 11 and maybe just a couple using odd channels.

What happens is that people see (pretty much) everybody else using channels 1, 6 and 11 and decide to use channel 3 because is 'less congested'. That's a really bad move, technically speaking, because you end up causing interference (and getting interference from) to every station on channels 1 and 6.

So yes, if everybody else were using channels 3 and 13, you should probably be using channel 8, but that's something that definitely doesn't happen that often.
