I dont know anything about your instructor but I have come to realize that many instructors which have developed the majority of their knowledge in books/manuals or sitting in a classroom, are often rather ridged in regards to their form. I have only in the rarest of circumstances, extended my arms fully during any training or practice sessions. I doubt its what I will do if facing a real crisis. I do use the pad of my finger but really its because I dont have a choice ( short fingers)
