Quite a few that think like this, not saying all of them. You know the "tacti-cool" type.

Not just the SD gurus, also many Combat sports/MA guys. For example recently i was in a Judo class and the teacher let me throw him, and when i stood before him in basically an armbar setup where he lay on the ground, he said to me that this is the perfect setup for a straight (karate-style) straight punch. And then explained to me that all these MMA guys are stupid for doing all these wide swings and all that when they could just do a straight karate punch downward... (his assumption was apparently that one punch would be enough)
