You should feel aggrieved. Perhaps you guys operate differently, but there is no way I'd let this slide. If for no other reason, to find out exactly what your training captain wants you to do when you reach the DA (at 200ft). This is precisely the point where most people come unstuck these days, with undershoots and overshoots, early flares, late flares, overcorrecting, floating a big cause of prangs. He is your instructor. He's paid for it. It's his job to know this stuff and as importantly, teach you what you need to know to fly safely from 200ft to touchdown.
