Too much law? May we discuss a flying technique?

Air law has been somewhat prominent in recent discussions here and, of course, it's an important subject, but may we talk about some aspect of aircraft handling that has not been done over recently? I suggest that we overshoot away from landings, but what about something like side-slipping? How many people are or are not taught how to do it? How many people regard it as part of their everyday skill set? If possible, can we avoid concentrating exclusively on the wisdom or unwisdom of slipping in C172s with the flaps down, although by all means go on about that if it gets your cookies. What else? Lowering flaps in the final turn? Fireproof shreddies? Cup holders?
