It would be like if you were skiing with a guy who kept telling you not to use any rotary while he was clearly ding it himself. Take what works and leave the rest (but in the moment, keep your eye open and try it anyway).

Agreed.  There was a conversation at the Northeast PMTS shindig 2 years ago on that topic that you probably would've enjoyed.  As we all probably know, HH/PMTS says that you don't need to teach rotary, because people do too much of it naturally, and it'll be there on the (presumably rare for PMTSers) occasions they need it.  Well, we had amazing conditions at MRG the Saturday of the event, and we skied a lot of bumps.  Glen (PMTS coach & bootfitter) was there helping us out with drills and stuff, and led us all through a couple drills focused on twisting skis.  He has a competition style approach to bumps, and a remark along the lines of "you guys need to learn how to twist your darned skis" to a group of PMTS people **** me up.  Internet arguments aside, I think we all had fun with it and laughed at ourselves plenty..
