"Hand Down" Cue Topic

The following is just a "Topic for Discussion" not a Q.
With that said, what are your opinions on the "hand down" as a cue on blinds (or marks if used)? Is this more for the handlers benefit or does the dawg truley use it as a cue? After all if the spine is aligned, head straight, the verbal cues are spoken "Bird/Good/Back" etc. Could the "hand down" be more of a distraction than a plus? The opinion I'M forming is that it is NOT needed at all, again what's YOUR opinion?

Dave, I'm much too lazy to drag my scrawny butt up out of the pit to properly align my guys' spines when birds go down unmarked, so I teach them that the hand points the way to blinds.

(The current miniature Bay dog somehow wound up with your nom de net for a call name.)
