Against a player that takes too much you may double later, not because of the wrong takes, but because you lose less doubled games.

You can look at it in another way. If you consider doubling, you gain from doubling now on the sequences where your opponent has a proper drop next turn and drops; you lose on doubling now on the sequences that make you regret doubling. If your opponent takes late, the gain from doubling now is reduced, so you'd generally double later. Maybe this is a more intuitive way to look at it. You don't gain from having waited on the bad takes, but you avoid the loss incurred by waiting from proper drops.
