It's called learning by doing. Chakra manipulation, from my POV, is a very internal experience that's very hard to explain in words. Jiraiya can tell Naruto to control and manipulate his chakra in such a way that it does this or that, but he can't really give him a play-by-play. And at the end of the day it really was more about Naruto relying on his own capabilities and creativity to accomplish the task.
At any rate, Naruto had plenty of time to "break the habit" during the three year training.

I agree. I've never claimed it wasn't inefficient. Rather, I'd call what Naruto is doing a "Bad Habit" that seriously needs to be broken. But, to call one of Naruto's shining moments "half-assed" is simply false.

Then I got no beef with you there.

"Inefficient" does not equal "half-assed".

Eh, I think in some cases it can, but I won't press the issue further.
