Spot on, agree with you wholeheartedly. It should be a learning exercise, 'an opportunity to practice...' A standard to be achieved within tolerances but not perfection.
As regards previous postings, yes, you have to have the evidence. I write loads of notes, position on the localiser/glide slope on an ILS at every 500ft, what the speed was etc etc. evidence is everything.
The best tool we have though is SimView- CCTV in the flightdeck. I love it when someone says 'I never did that' and then you play them back the tape....
