Nose for Speed, Throttle for aiming point (Height), could not agree more... i fly with a bunch of fledgling airline wannabies in the circuit...their finals are easily 2-3 NM in a 152 that's just silly...i have to go half way to the next airport just to slot in (yeah it pisses me off)
I wonder what will happen to those chaps trained in such a way when the engine quits? dragging a 152 in with 2000 rpm is a dangerous habit to get into IMHO. If i feel the need to touch the throttle on approach i feel I've not pulled off the best landing (ok excessive wind and sink aside).
It starts at the schools and gets worse....
