I would say that you should be able to do it both ways and fit it to the music because they look a bit different.
Also drills and dancing are not the same thing always. Asmahan had some very strict isolation drills, though she said several times "this is for practice only, when we dance we are not robots, the whole body moves" etc...

She says its to teach/enforce isolation. She'll allow the "other" way in intermediate/advanced classes - much for the same reason you state above. But she wants us to learn it the "right" way first.
I've also encountered other teachers who teach the two techniques in reverse order. *shrug*
