OK, that is fair, but I think my point is valid even if you remove the word "training" from it.

A great way to create effective leaders is to give them examples of effective leadership.

I agree with this 100%, and did not mean my original comment to exclude the need to provide examples of effective leadership. But the point I would like to make is that, throughout the year, there are thousands of opportunities for mentors to demonstrate leadership. I do not see the need to add one more at the expense of taking a unique and valuable experience from a student.
