I find most people I know think a roast is something you stick in the oven for hours, baste it occasionally, let it rest and hope it doesn't come out dry and nasty. The lower heat helps it not dry out as much.

But I agree with you, a nice sear and a little bit of hot oven time is really all that's needed. :)
