You could start an argument about the wisdom of a pre landing gear check on a fixed gear aircraft,
Ask any instructor why check the landing gear down on a fixed gear type and he will say because one day you will fly a retractable gear aircraft and it gets you in the habit of checking gear down and locked.

Now ask him if that is the reason, then how come you don't say "Gear up" as part of the after take off check in a Cessna 172? Talk about negative "training". Typical GA.
