No one is stopping you from demolish, the point is to not make it a priority. Like some crazy rotations that get passed around. Learn before use.
In my last post, I was actually thinking of muscle memory but reaching the opposite conclusion. I believe muscle memory can lead you to learn a complicated rotation once you keep testing it in different environments.
Eventually, all you need if to feed yourself the situational information and then you will already know what to do.

I'm not saying to over reach, if you're not comfortable. It's okay to play it safe, especially if it ends up a dps loss because you let your buffs/debuffs fall off.
You shouldn't preach the opposite though. Everyone should, at least, keep the goal of performing optimally in hectic situations in mind.

It takes a lot of practice and might get worse before it gets better. So yea, we get a bad rep for this. But that comes with playing a difficult class.
Strive to get better but don't overextend, it doesn't have to be one or the other.
What you're arguing is personal and relative to what one can handle.

You say "learn before use", that's good but you've also dismissed trying to do more complicated stuff altogether. You don't need to be so extreme to get the point across.
And relying on muscle memory of the 3 button rotation alone isn't good advice, because people don't develop if they stick too close to their comfort zone.
