Turbo 182: correct mixture for final approach at high altitude?

Simple enough, IMHO. The main problem is that, for some reason, pilots who
are introduced to turbocharged aircraft are often not told about the need to
avoid full-rich mixture settings at high density altitudes. This was true
of me (I found out myself the hard way...only took two high altitude
landings for me to figure it out though ), and it's apparently true of
other pilots as well.

The real problem is, most pilots are flat-landers.
There just is not the opportunity to train pilots in the real world
environment until they actually get there.

One need not witness the engine stopping to learn to not land with the
mixture full rich at high density altitudes. If I had been taught, when I
got checked out in my first turbocharged airplane, to not land with mixture
full rich at high density altitudes, I'm sure it would have only taken ONE
engine stoppage for me to figure out what was wrong. I might have avoided
it altogether.

My point is that it doesn't sound like anyone is even bothering to mention
this. It's not just a matter of poor retention due to lack of first-hand
experience.
