I would not tell anyone they are wrong in the way they ride or think. If it works for them, great. I will offer to teach them the Road I course if they wish to learn. If they figure out by taking a course they are wrong or if they learn something they did not before hand then so be it. But if someone says they ride a certain way & they think they are right in what they do, then fine. Who am I to tell them they are wrong? I may not agree with their riding tactics or style but I I won't say their wrong, I'll just say I do not agree with it.
This next comment is better discussed in the P&R II forum, but the same could be said for religion too.
