Using your CHAPTER ELEVEN example, that would never happen the way you described. Chapter titles are either left, center, or right justified.

And when you left justify, you are not guaranteeing that there won't be any hyphenation. One thing I really don't like it the gaps you get between the end of the last word and the margin. It can look really bad without hyphenation. Just thing of a line where you have a long word of 7-9 characters that doesn't fit by one character. That looks awful.

Full justified with hyphens looks better to most people (myself included).
