I agree. I have NEVER heard of anyone becoming addicted to use of the metronome. Everybody I know, whether they use it a lot or a little, want to do nothing more than TURN THAT ANNOYING THING OFF.

Often, when people have a "natural" skill, they guard it jealously against the notion that the same skill can be methodically learned.* Perhaps your teacher has a "natural" sense of rhythm, never needed to use a metronome, and just can't imagine that it would be useful.

(*I was great at taking SAT tests in high school without practice, and I hated the idea that other people could improve their scores through practice. I preferred to believe that SAT exams just measured inherent intelligence, and that I was smarter than everyone else.)
