A line cook in Seattle told me to always sear scallops on high heat

I was working a pop-up last fall, and this guy was adamant that a screaming hot pan was the only way. He said, 'You get a better crust, period.' But I've found a medium-high heat for a full 90 seconds gives me more control and a perfect cook through. Anyone else have a strong opinion on scallop technique?

Oh man, that's just like the 'right' way to load a dishwasher.

Wait, 90 seconds? That's wild, @rubyschmidt. I'd have a hockey puck.
