Ah, that makes sense.
So, it will let you do whatever you're doing better, but only after you're already good at it. If you try to use it as a crutch, it just bites you in the ass.
The real problem is that you haven't used the rubbers yet and are speaking about them. I actually think you are right, and that Tenergy can reward lots of suboptimal technique when looping but you can't defend that position when you haven't used the rubbers before. Most of the players writing to you are thinking from a USATT 1800-2100 perspective and probably don't remember what it was like to use Tenergy at a lower level when they had really bad technique. I kinda do so I know what that ball arc from 05 and Baracuda used to do to my opponents even when my loop sucked.
