You my friend, I mean that with the best intentions are misguided, albeit with the best intentions.
You are concerned about literally the most insignificant “deviation” imaginable.
We have much bigger fish to fry including procedures and habits and ‘mandatory’ techniques in order to operate this airplane like Boeing intended.
You must do it this way! Well unless you can show me your references and provide some sort of regulatory guidance by the means of some sort of approved source.
Tech Tips are not regulatory.
You can get away with teaching this BS to newhires as long as it’s their first Boeing type but it’s utter madness for people that have a couple more miles on their odometer.
