Ok, I feely concede that one can get really good results using all manner of technique.

Actually one thing we don't really discuss freely is the lack of swift tonguing that plagues a majority of us. In fact I have tried to make more of double tonguing with students to allow more of them to become competitive. One particular student said to me after a tutorial on how I wanted the double tonguing to happen, "but how will you know if I'm actually doing that?" This student had no trouble at all keeping up with my double tonguing just using standard single tonguing. Unfortunately many of us have a native musculature that holds us back.

This is why I have gotten a little less dogmatic (just a little) about old school, standard tonguing exercises. Double tonguing should be taught as a standard technique to ALL students and the approach is different, what we see in the link I posted above of Alexey Gorokholinsky.
