I'll buy all of your argument except the rant about high wing/low wing.
Done
it many times without swapping paint.

Interesting. Wouldn't have even considered it myself. Do you think it's
something you'd want a newly-minted pilot to do?

Just out of curiosity, are you near a densely-populated area where people
need to know how to actually park their cars? I live in Boston and always
get a kick when watching some out-of-towner trying to parallel park who
obviously hasn't done so in at least ten years. The relevance is that the
FBO I used to rent from in the area discouraged "driving in" to tiedowns but
it was not really enforced and even all the instructors did it.

(I'm biased...it's the same guy that banged the two Cessnas I fly together
only a couple of weeks after his checkride, so I'm not giving him much
slack.)

Fair enough. If I was that guy I'd refrain from it for a while too.
