Might be, but the point is that the curve of the transform should be the main component to decide where your corrections should fall on the tonal range.
Applying corrections after the curve will have no component to decide where your colors will fall, how your highlights will bend etc.

Watch the professional color grading training with Kevin to understand this concept better.
