disagree with you, there are exercises, dumbell presses for one, where having a spotter for the first rep can make a BIG difference in your progress
and going heavy with with barbell bench presses is great to have a spotter, if you want to do heavy weight triples to failure there is no way to do it without a spotter, plus there is a big advantage to end on a failure negative rather than not be quite at failure and end on a positive rep
