that's how i was taught - adjust them so you have a sliver of your door visible

While leaning over? Or while sitting in your seat? Because that's the big difference.

Admittedly I feel like it's mainly older people who were taught to adjust their mirrors that original way and have just never updated. The new standard isn't really that new, it's been around since the mid-90s, but that's still too recent for a lot of people who have been driving for a long time, and they'll have a tendency to teach their children the way they were taught, so it's a gradual shift.
