Eric,
I'm not completely sure, but I think you agree with me when it comes to the
teaching of cane techniques.  I personally wish I had had a blind teacher far
sooner than I did.  It wasn't until I had a partial teaching me in the early
80's that I began to really find out what my bad habits are where can
technique is concerned.  I still have some trouble using proper cane
technique, but I at least know what is available to me.
Not only that, but I feel that there is nothing like the peer support that
another blind person gives to one who is learning the technique.
