Yes, a generation gap seems to be part of this (myself included in the old generation).

At 24 bit depth, there is simply no reason whatsoever to record "hot."

If you want to allow, or want to make some sort of mild or obvious distorted artifact somewhere in the analogue chain (or somewhere in a badly designed digital buss-and there aren't that many of them), or you like stressing over levels, than go ahead and record hot.
