I'm not a shooter, but people do the same thing when looking through a telescope, or a microscope with one eyepiece. You learn to ignore the other eye.

Looking through a telescope or microscope isn't a competition sports.

Considering the performance of the silver medalist, maybe thousands of hours of practice makes it moot, if you don't train yourself to require it.

Cargo cult, even at the olympic level, is a thing. See the mustaches that make you swim faster [1]. It wasn't only the Russian's that adopted it.
