Just as with spins, there's a difference between being told what to do -
and
actually going into the situation.


Putting a student high so that a release is required would be plain stupid and reckless behaviour of an instructor.
Any exercise needs to be planned in a way that the student has some room for error, and that the instructor can recover the situation if the student finally fails to do so.
In a high position there is no such margin. There are situations which just can't be trained.

What can't be trained is the dangerous divergent situation. Agreed on all else.
