Same, showed to do "H" from the instructor. WTF are the doughnuts for? Never used it since, happy years ensued.
There is a drill I ended up demonstrating recently, over and over again. The difference between a control / selector / input field and the resulting indicator.
Clearly, we move the selector and verify on the indicator, easily explained with the parking brake. Don't need to be completely picky (seat-belts SW) and for many items there is no indicator at all, but when available not using the indicators is just wrong. Flight control check with the double cross on PFD, NAVAID on MCDU, headings on FCU, ... geez.
This should be standard required skill, but it isn't.
