I got very good feedback about this, exactly in the sense that they appreciated getting an idea of which kind of errors/typos you can expect when doing real work, thus learning from others' mistakes, so to say. So, I also think live coding is good for the same reasons, even if I keep printed out notes nearby. The notes give me the exact flow, and I refer to them just for the big picture, in chunks, which I code live. But they are also handy in case I mess up or forget something.
