Serve the music
The bright and brittle tone produced by strumming at the bridge is rarely used. Folk don't seem to like that tone. However in the hands of a MASTER it's quite the 'punctuation' mark. Note how Al consciously shifts his strumming/picking hand to different positions...
So yes there is a 'right' place to strum. However that 'right' place will constantly change and we be dictated by the music.
