Yes, I agree. I'm a form nazi (which is why I've been using the hack squat instead of a barbell after tweaking my lower back a little over a month ago, next Monday I'll be back on the barbell). One of the few things my HS coaches did well was coaching form in the weight room.
Edit: One of my favorite things to do at the gym is laugh at the people who throw a bunch of weight around with no form.
