Oh, right, I wasn't thinking of plants like cabombas and frils and such. I
don't even try to prune them. Just lop off the top half of the plant, plant
that, and toss the bottom away.

Most stem plants grow so fast that, even if you think you botched them,
in a
week you won't be able to tell.

That's definitely true of some stem plants, like Rotala and Hygro. But
some,
like Cabomba, get very leggy if you keep topping them. The internode
length
gets very long, and the bottoms of the stems lose their leaves and become
very
unattractive.
