I know that; if you are judging your glide, remaining distance, height, etc, you shouldn't have to use the technique. Just was saying it can be done, and even so in my opinion it should probably be taught anyway. If one happened to possibly make those errors that could lead to an emergency situation where you are now high with no power, they should know that technique is available to them.
