It wasn't corrected by Avery and if you watch his draws he does it, too, so presumably he is comfortable with it. So are some other instructors. To each his own. But let's not pretend it was just an accidental one time thing.
re: slowing the extension for low% shots
Candidly, the only people who seem to get wrapped around the axle on this are people who haven't been exposed to the technique except online, and usually by people who've already made up their minds to dislike the technique altogether. It seems like you have this impression of people taking half an hour to go from close in to full extension along the eye line. That's not the case. Since you seem ok with adding time to your draw by pausing at extension for low% shots, I'm not sure why adding time by slowing the extension instead is so mind warping.
