I just do it because it's easy and requires little thought. It's also easy to explain. I let someone else operate my boat last time out and his first instinct was to back down on the throttle in a give-way situation. Tried to teach him to change course instead, where practical. Much safer for the guests on board, much easier for the stand on boat to see, and easier on gas.
