No. The value of a mule as an effective number of SCVs changes depending on saturation. Below 16 miners on minerals, it's about 3 SCVs, above that it can be well over 4 (approaching an infinite number of SCVs as saturation reaches maximum). This is why being equal-base to a Terran for an extended period of time is so dangerous.

The value of a SCV differs depending on saturation, the value of a MULE will always be the same.
It will never be able to mine more than the equivalent of 4.5 SCVs at optimal.
Each Orbital, and thus MULE, returns 180 minerals/minute which is the maximum 4 workers can return.
Thus approximately equal to 4 SCVs.
Saying it has more value than SCVs that are not mining is completely pointless, which is what workers on a over saturated base are doing, not mining.
It's like saying your dick is worth an infinite number of melons as the value of a melon approaches nothing.
