Yes its a generalisation but there is truth in most generalisations - but it does not mean there are not exceptions, as you say there were hour builders that were good instructors and also some instructors who enjoyed it were not actually good at the job but the system certainly had those that did not really want to instruct instructing and those who did want to instruct leaving the job.
