Thanks for sharing your knowledge; I do sometimes fly a Bulldog, to keep current on CS props, as my own a/c is a Pup.
The POH for the Bulldog does contain a line item in the forced landing checklist saying "propellor full increase", so maybe it is to encourage safe practice for simulated exercises.
In the event of a real engine failure it would seem to make more sense to glide with coarse pitch I would have thought, as their would be less windmill drag.
If the prop lever setting doesnt make a difference, then I can understand why it is safe to teach "fine" pitch
