But, I don't disagree that 'the proper method' is a rather polarizing label: consider the source.
Which is why the phrase "The Proper Method" is usually either italicized or in quotes - most of us think of it as only "Proper" for the one person who so named it. For the rest of us it's short hand for a popular method, but certainly not the only method.
