This can be taken to the other extreme.  I took a class where we were 
required to demonstrate a wet exit before we started paddling.  I 
rolled/handrolled the boat I was in several times before we started, but 
was told I still needed to demonstrate a wet exit before we could start.

The instructor needed to get the little checkmark on the insurance form...
