Exactly right. Only I'd say that no credible firearms instructor would teach that. Not civilian, LE or military. It's a stupid thing to say and even less useful in practice.
First, it empties your gun. What do you do if another threat presents itself? Second, it opens the shooter to potential excessive force issues. Third, if you're just hammering away with your gun, are you sure of where every round is going? You need to be.
