What I find to be the least brightest of all is commenting on something without knowing for sure.
This is what 90% of this site is all about. You take a look at most everyone here who asks what's the best prop on a specific engine. Everyone jumps in with answers without even know what plane and the same applies for 50 other things.. Sorry but I think it's stupid and would not encourage it.

Too many pilots have developed very bad habits which they got from instructors. I do not necessarily mean that are bad pilots per say, just bad habits. I call it as i see it.

Trollmaster, did you see it first hand? Or are you saying your calling it as you think you see it without witnessing first hand? I don't think any comment without witnessing this method first hand is valid. I call it as I see it too.
The point of looking down is in no way a detriment in any way. This instructor is in full control of the plane at all times. Also on a windy day at low altitudes it is not just an instructor that can have problems. I have seen very good flyer's dump their plane in the same manner doing aerobatics, low to the field.
Understanding is a 3 edge sword, your side, my side and the truth. Without seeing this first hand speculation reigns supreme. Knowledge is in far second until you experience it.
Happy landings,
