One, big sh*t-eating grin...!

Your passengers must enjoy the barf-inducing yaw that this provides to them.
I learned in a taildragger too, and I've rarely come across such puppycock.

I don't know. I learned in a taildragger, I always lead with rudder
regardless of what I am flying.

Okay, how about this answer...
I apply whatever control inputs are required to keep the ball centered
throughout the turn. I don't think about it, I just do it. :-)

The second answer is, the instructor was referring to controlling the
aircraft in flight. In a taildragger, you lead a turn with rudder
before
adding the aileron.

Some aircraft need no rudder for turns up to about 30 degrees since the
controls are interconnected. The 180 and 182 are the same airplane so
they fly the same.
