You're dangerously close to a "True Scotsman" fallacy there!
You're saying Sagan can't be doing what I say (despite video evidence) because _you_ proclaim it to be "poor technique," and someone like Sagan would not use what _you_ judge to be "poor technique."
I'd say the opposite: The fact that he uses this technique (as shown by the video) indicates he does not think it's "poor technique."
He's very skilled, and in other videos he shows he can use the other technique if he wants to. But he thinks this is the right technique for this situation.
