And remember, don't emphasize arbitrary techniques like "straight arms"; this is stuff gym instructors (at least the ones who aren't very technical climbers themselves) teach beginner classes so they have stuff to read off of a specific sounding list.
Do a youtube search for "world cup climber" and take note of the number of sequences using straight arms vs. bent arms.
Unless you're clipping, reaching or hanging to shake out, straight arms aren't always useful, and sometimes horribly inferior to a good ol' lock off.
