This is silly advice. You can use your red dot the same way you use iron sights, by adjusting the dot for a six-o'clock hold. There's no rule saying you need to superimpose or cover the target with the dot --- it's just a point of reference. Yes its quick at close quarters to simply put the dot on the intended POI, but it's also easy to use the red dots with much more finesse. I can drive tacks at 200 yards with an Aimpoint 2MOA dot on my very accurate .223 Contender Super 14.
