There is no debate.........thats a bad way to ride, its not a technique. The only time your foot should be in that position is during slow speed turns or when you need to cover the back brake and really you should be using the front brake for 99% of the time.
Riding that way makes you sit on the bike like a pudding. You have far more control with your ball of the foot on the pegs. Thats why modern bikes have folding pegs and brake pedals in that position.
