Default Pressing vs. Ironing

I have always heard that you should PRESS seams and blocks....that ironing tends to distort the fabric.
I have watched lots of quilting videos and they all seem to iron. Just this morning I watched Jenny Doan video and she tends to iron the blocks. Sometimes, she uses a spurt of steam....thought that was a no-no too, although I use a quick spray when needed.
I always press blocks.
What are your thoughts about this? Is it the time constraint when doing a video?
Thanks.
