Why does nobody talk about ditching the multimeter for a basic test light on continuity checks?

I used to burn 20 minutes chasing intermittent grounds with a Fluke 87 on every 737 wingtip light job until a lead at our Tulsa hangar handed me a $12 test light and said the meter was lying to me on loaded circuits, and honestly he was right since the light pulls real current and shows the drop the meter hides, so now I want to know if anyone else made that switch or am I just late to it?
