If you ground loop or nose over a tric, you've really screwed up. You
can ground loop or nose over either one, the taildragger does a better
job of teaching you how not to get in that situation (it the stick/yoke
isn't in you gut, you are heading for a problem).
If the yoke *is* in your gut in my aircraft, you're about to have a big problem
(unless you're already on the ground). When the wings stall (as they're about to),
the mains will drop faster than the tail. The results can be anywhere from a very
hard landing to a seesaw as the mains bounce, bringing the tail down, which bounces,
bringing the mains down, which bounce ..... "and awaaayyy we go!"
You need to learn the proper attitude for whatever aircraft you fly. Learning to land
a Cessna 170 will not improve your landings in a 182. Learning to land a 182 will.
