Your thinking is right, but not everybody who comes up beside you in the outside lane is thinking.
I always wait until there are no cars in either lane in the circle to my left before entering. But what's happened various times is that if I enter the rotary in the inside lane intending to go straight (thru) it, a car in the outside lane and slightly beside or behind me decides to cut to the left in front of me or almost t-boning me as I'm about to exit at 12 o'clock. That's why I use the outer lane for entering at 6 o'clock and exiting at 12 o'clock....some bozo often enters at 6 or 3 o'clock intending to exit at 9 o'clock and they cut across your straight-bound exit at 12. It's a heart stopper when they decide to turn left from the right (outer) lane.
