Your point is good, there is a lot to learn, and not by just watching and forming an opinion. You have to work on it, for a while to get it. It's easy to just keep doing the same old thing, it's hard work to make a change, to improve.
Instruction makes more sense when the demonstration accompanying it is at a very high and technically sound level. I have few opportunities to attend seminars with instructors who have international experience, but I find the clarity of their instruction to be very, very valuable. Just "working on it" without that high-level feedback can make a person excellent at doing it wrong and/or totally miss the correct technique while thinking one has tapped the full potential.
