The fact that anyone is seriously comparing the rules of a game, be it IDPA, USPSA or the gadpa off shoot to real world tactics doesn't really make sense to me. If an individual were in fact serious about using the match for training, in my estimation that person wouldn't get too wrapped around the axle about a Procedural Error and how it would affect their score. It seems to me that an individual that was serious about training value would accept the penalties and move on with the understanding that the score is irrelevant in the context of training value and real world applicability.
IDPA has spent a fair amount of effort attempting to cater to new shooters with a skewed perception of the intent of the game, that's a shame.
