I think you will go hungry if you count on that technique.

It's not so much complete reliance on one specific technique.
But what I was told makes sense.
Taking a "throwing stick" with you when you go for water or wood to make shelter/fire makes sense in my opinion.
While I've never seen it work either, I would try it in a real survival situation.
You're idea of a spear is great but I think too much energy is being spent right off the bat to carve a spear.
Picking up a stick that you can later burn seems just plain simple to me.

I have seen a Honduran soldier knock a flushed bird out of the air with a well-thrown rock.

I think the same idea applies to the "throwing stick" -- anyone who has been out in the woods surviving or just camping has seen a squirrel or rabbit run out in front of them. A well thrown stick could take it out, making a free meal. But like anything it would take practice or a natural born ability to throw accurately
