Good advice, Doctor.
As you said, there are many ways one could work on this aspect of the short game, from standing at a fixed point using tees or alignment sticks at different distances to walking around the perimeter of the green so as vary the distance to be flown to the edge of the putting surface and having the hole as the target. Anything that gets players working on variety and feel is a good thing.
