In turns (on or off aerotow), don't tilt

and you detach from being one with the glider.

Burt, I agree with everything else you said, but this part confuses me.
I've always tilted my head away from the turn (to nearer vertical) so I
can see where I'm going; in particular, to be able to see other gliders
at or above my altitude. It doesn't affect my horizon reference because
I can see where the inside wing is, and a glance towards the nose (or
peripheral vision) gives me the bank and pitch angle.

I circle at a 40-45 degree bank angle. Perhaps you talking about
students that might be flying at a much smaller angle and could see
where they are going in the turn without tilting their head?
