This is a cyclic meme of sorts. They’re both ancient pedagogical traditions with strengths and weaknesses. They’re also not mutually exclusive. The “lecture-demonstration” is a common form. Teachers are good at one, both, or neither. No real need to be partisan about it.

I’m skeptical. Even pure lectures demonstrate thinking patterns you can imitate, and pure demonstrations are often accompanied by lecture-like expository commentary. You’re espousing something of a higher-ed religion you may not be aware of.
