I suppose you might, but it isn't likely. It is easier to shoot a photo
correctly than to spend time going through the menu to look at what you
just shot. I think it might make the learning curve better if you can see
immediately what your mistakes were so you can correct them. I found it
helpful though, this summer, to look at the image just to see if the
placement of lights was correct for the portraits I was shooting. The
lights had to be adjusted for a single person and then a family
group. Since we did not have a flash meter, we could take a peek at the
first shot, adjust, then shoot away.
You make a valid point about deleting all the "bad" ones. Sometimes I will
keep a "bad" photo only to find later that I like it. And, even bad photos
tell us something about the location, culture, etc. that someone, years
later may find informative. Only, now it won't be there.
