I've seen plenty of evidence to the contrary - archers who collapse when the clicker drops, so their draw hands shoot forward before loose. Then very often they'll flutter the draw hand around so their fingers are touching the back of the neck, and they convince themselves that they had a nice follow-through. And I've seen plenty of archers without a clicker who don't have any such collapse or forward loose.
Alignment is key to avoiding a collapse or forward loose. That can most certainly be taught without a clicker.
