We were taught tourniquet ASAP, along with the H-pressure bandage; now they have QuikClot bandages instead of the crystals that burned like hell and were damn near impossible to get out.
I digress. I see your point. Techniques change as people learn more. I think the problem is that alot of people still belong to the whole "Having a gun makes me cool. Having Neo's gun(s) from The Matrix makes me cooler, and using them like him makes me a super-duper certified grade-A badass." As a result, people try moving to the advanced stuff before they get the basics down, and after that all their advanced stuff looks like shit, and doesn't work. I keep thinking of the videos your linked to a few weeks ago with the fat guy and his scrawny-ass partner.
