Let me explain,
When I say the Harmonic minor only has one mode, what I am saying is, there is only one "USEFUL" mode.
Can you honestly tell your students that you write songs in the Super Locrian Diminished mode and say with a strait face that your tonality is centered around that mode? I mean technically any one of the modes could be incorporated, but it is the tonality that I am referring to as true tonal center is concerned.
