I would agree with that. No need to confuse the issue with a metronome unless you can at least minimally get through the piece.

For an alternative view, if you see the metronome as a guide initially instead of a taskmaster, it can be clicking away in the background while working through a piece a few times. I don't do that, however. I do fumble through the concept a few times then apply the metronome.
