Question regarding installation of carpet at the top of stairs

I'm wondering if anyone has information on the correct way to install carpet at the top of a staircase? I just had carpet installed and they wrapped the top tread with the carpet. The threshold was put in so that the carpet would meet the threshold and be level at the top of the stairs. The way they did it doesn't make any sense to me. They are saying the only way to install it the way I want it is to put a metal strip over the carpet up against the threshold (top tread), otherwise it will fray and ruin the carpet. I'm not believing them......and would like some "expert advice". Thanks!
