Yep, and to spell out the general case: there are techniques you shouldn’t use unless you’re confident you can use them correctly, because they do not degrade gracefully. Often these techniques aren’t taught unless the instructor is reasonably sure the student has the other pieces to use it well.
As a note of pedagogy I usually prefer when the teachers says something like “This is the basic way to do it, and we’re going to practice this first. If you’re unsure, do it this way. We might get into variations later.”
