The so called Tea Cup hold might be a carry over from the artillery hold for rifles.
Except that the rifle has the very important third support at the shoulder.
But the Tea Cup can be useful for slow precision shooting with low recoiling handguns.
So, don't discount it all together, as it does have its uses.
As does most every technique, depending on circumstances.
