If that theory were in place for all vocal literature, most young singers would spend their time vocalizing and few would sing any rep in their beginning years.
Right, but when this young singer who cut her teeth on Porgi Amor becomes a young profesional who is learning the role of the Contessa, she will mostly likely be stuck with this horrible muscle memory to overcome from when she sang that aria with an incomplete or bad technique. For this reason I think it is a better idea to use art song repertoire. There is plenty of challenging art song out there that can teach just the same things vocally as an aria like Porgi Amor.
