My experience says it has merit,,,
Now my experience is mostly just informal shooting at targets,,,
I am not and never will be a competition shooter,,,
But I don't use the rear sight very much.
As a young Airman in 1971 I made friends with the range-master at Hahn AFB,,,
His admonition was to "focus on the front sight" and ignore the rear sight.
What he meant was to put all of your mental focus on the front sight,,,
Stop trying to align the front and rear sights perfectly.
His meaning was that if you always put your front sight where it should be,,,
The rear sight will eventually follow and align itself.
I know it sounds counter-intuitive but it seems to work.
I've introduced a lot of newbies with this technique,,,
With a very few exceptions it's worked well for them all.

But then what does Rob know?
He'll pass up a glass of Dewars for one of Jack Daniels!
Rob knows there is never a good reason to drink inferior scotch.
