Agree. Teach the correct way, make some early observation signal corrections if needed, and then, don't waste any more time and move on to the really important stuff.

Our local trainers/interpreters occasionally teach which hand to stop the clock, or which hand to chop in time, in different situations. Not stressed, but just mentioned, and almost never critiqued.

My personal view is to just get the hand/fist up, everything else (left hand, right hand) is just gravy.

Wait? Who doesn't like gravy?

My Italian/Sicilian/American in-laws called tomato sauce "gravy". Who puts gravy on spaghetti? Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.?
