If don't use the technique you'll crash and die
I have one AAIB report to my name, because of a combination of poor airmanship (mine, not anybody else's), contributed to by not being trained to fly the aeroplane properly - rather some club pilot's incorrect beliefs of how to do it when they checked me out on a new type, not helped by my relative inexperience at the time stopping me forcing the issue and making damned sure I was flying it as it should have been.

I am very keen to keep that score fixed, but have also spent considerable time over my 23 years in aviation trying to help other people to score lower than me.

Feel free to get judgmental about that.
