I guess that was asked to me? I've got no idea, except maybe if you are doing it into wind, that when you get into the falling out of the sky part, that you are actually travelling backwards relative to the ground. I doubt if that makes any difference to the actual experience, but "maybe" it was proving the point that its best to make an approach into wind when you can.
Having never done any instructing, i would only be guessing.
