@binsrc it boils down to fast approximation vs slow precise answer. When you are constrained on time, you just can't be slow. In teaching the constraint could be the amount of attention the student is willing to pay before getting any tangible results/gains.

The point of what's more correct becomes moot, especially when you realize that most practical applications of mathematical theories are fast approximations.
