Non-blackjack Ace-Ten question for switch

When playing switch, if you switch into an Ace-Ten (so it's a 21, not a blackjack) is there any situation in which you should treat it as an 11 and double? I can't help but feel like your expectation might be higher doubling. For that matter, since blackjacks only pay even money, say the Dealer's showing a 6 up would your expectation be higher doubling even with the sure winner?

Stand, don't double. Strategy card here: https://wizardofodds.com/blackjackswitch
Even a 20 against a 6 is worth 0.5873, much more than then 0.4926 from doubling 11 against 6.

Wisdom is the quality that keeps you out of situations where you would otherwise need it
