Most instructors think the student will excell to their level. That is very very true. I make no false assmptions that a student will seek out or get more instruction or even practice as much as most would agree is needed after any training. That is why most programs are overly complex and leave the student with little they can retain and use at their home range facility etc. The training begins to decay the day we leave it and if it isn't repeated by the student it decays rapidly. That is why we offer FREE re-attendance for life. We encourage them to reattend on regular levels and teach them things that they can do when we aren't around.
Logic is a belief. Yup, I expect my students to retain my "logic." The same goes for any other instructor, but that is seldom the case. Students either move onto other hobbies or interests or wander off to other logics and methods. Some become training junkies.
If a big PD required cops to only shoot every five years you'd be amazed how many would grumble about doing that.
When it wasn't required (and isn't in some areas to this day) you find cops that haven't shot a gun in years. It may shock a few but in highly rural areas you will find cops that don't carry a gun frequently. I ran into many of them in South Dakota and North Dakota.
