It's a great way to hurt yourself and further delay progress.

Simple solution: dont do what the others do, follow form yourself
Youll see that in every workout mod. Half squats dont impress anyone, all the way down on push ups, break the plane and all that has been said before. Thats why at a good CF Affiliate the first few weeks of training you dont touch the Rx'd weight, you work with bare bars (if that; usually its PVC pipe) and light KBs, form is crucial as youve said but just because someone else is cheating themselves doesnt mean you should turn a cold shoulder, get out there and show them the proper form!!!
Sets for time and WODs are there to push you. Youll soon learn that 99% of all Army physical training is done to a set training time or standard.
