The argument is that if you are indicating while waiting for a gap you can make others think you are indicating because you are about to pull out and haven't seen them. The instructors words were, you aren't a bus so you don't just indicate then pull out whether there is a gap or not! However, it does beg the question. If you wait for a gap before indicating then pulling out, if the gap is big enough, who are you indicating to? So why bother? Indicators are to tell other road users what you intend doing, if there's nobody there why are you telling nobody (in fact, you'd get marked down on the IAM advanced test for indicating when there is no point)?
