Let's
focus on the point here. The manufacturer, Canon, designed something, the hood, for a specific purpose to be used in a specified manner. So that is the correct use. A person might grab their camera for an unforeseen opportunity with the hood still in the storage orientation and get adequate results, true. But, that doesn't mean they found an alternative and equivalent use for the hood. The "correct" use has a definition decided on by the designer. The caring attitude not afraid to inform someone they're missing the best use of something is hardly the cause of strife in this world, but the arrogance of never listening to sound advice is definitely a contributor.
