But for ab-initio training, the tailwheel is best precisely because it will not tolerate poor footwork (because of directional instability) or a not-correctly-held-off landing (becuase any bounce will throw the nose skywards, where the pilot has to sort it out, rather than forwards where a nose wheel catches it).
When nosewheel-trained pilots convert to tailwheel, most of their conversion training is simply to correct basic errors in technique that the nose wheel configuration has allowed them to get away with.
