Capn, I readily agree with you. I also agree that being nervous in the plane is what generally leads to this type of activity. I can say that from experience, I've never abused a student. However, I do think I've been too firm at times and it has bothered me. This is usually either on final, or when they're doing uncordinated stalls. I know I can recover from a spin, I just don't want to. Especially in a normal category plane without parachutes. So you're right, once you're on edge as an instructor I think it tends to make you a little more firm.
