From the article:
Does that seem ignorant to anyone else?Another interesting data point was that with the shooting incidents that occurred at five yards or less, most of the officers commented in the survey that they did not see or use the red dot sight at that distance as it was not needed. So, with that, instructors that conduct transition training should avoid using drills inside of 10 yards, as shooters who are struggling to find the red dot in training may utilize point shooting methods to complete the drill and circumvent the learning process intended by transition training.

No. If they recognised this as an issue it seems a prudent work around at that stage of the training. But i do not interpret the excerpt as never train at it. Just not at that initial stage where it may prove counterproductive.
Totally. Try point shooting on dot drills or trying to shoot a bullet hole at 3 yards and the need for finding the dot will become apparent. Plus, it’s important to learn what type of reference you need to make acceptable hits at different cadences and distances. As GJM has said (paraphrasing), often we’re not shooting a dot but instead a streak.
Statistics can be helpful but when analyzed by someone without sufficient expertise it becomes training to meet reality rather than training to improve reality.

A concept that Jedi teaches is the gross sight picture for high percentage shots using the back of the slide or window (with or without the dot). I think that's great on a relatively generous A zone or Down Zero. If you buy what Bolke, Dobbs, Fisher, Pressburg, etc are selling, on the other hand, in a LE and civilian defense context our target zone should be closer to the 5ish inch black zone of B-8. I haven't worked it enough to be convinced this is a valid technique for that more refined requirement.

That’s pretty much what I was thinking. Makes me wonder about who is running the transition training and whether they really understand the dot life themselves. My RDS Instructor Class (Modern Samurai Project) spent most of the time shooting inside 10 yards. And other than the time spent on gross sight pictures we used the dot all the time.
