How many people screw in a light bulb by turning off the light,

This, according to my electrician, is the wrong way.

Apparently, the correct way to screw in a light bulb is to keep power
to the socket on and screw the light only until it lights up. This
prevents the contact in the base of the socket from getting crushed
which makes it harder to get contact with each subsequent bulb.
