Read the context where I wrote most instructors still erroneously teach it as just that and get the student to cut the throttle either abeam the downwind end of the runway or on the turn to base leg.
I did not recommend that technique
The RAF did, though! That (at the end of the downwind leg) was exactly how they were taught and flown and possibly still are, certainly in SEP aircraft.
