I strongly disagree.

If you have a jutsu that can end the fight in an instant, there's literally no reason not to fire it first. If it hits, it defeats the enemy and so you win. No effort required. If it doesn't hit you'll probably force your opponent to use their strongest jutsu to counter or evade it. In one strike a lot can be learned from your enemy.

Therefore, the best approach to any fight is to fire your main attack first. Kakashi can't do this because Chidori is point-blank and doesn't fit the criteria, but Rasenshuriken can be thrown. (well technically Chidori can end the fight in one blow, but it'll be a blow to Kakashi, not vice-versa)
