I wouldn't want to put anyone through that. So I don't.

Arguing that X is bad because you've seen bad examples of X isn't
very convincing, unless you can show that there are no /good/
examples of X.

I'm not trying to argue that X is bad. I'm just pointing out that in *my*
experience I find X hard to maintain in general terms, and consequently I
don't like to inflict X on other people (including myself). Clarity takes
precedence over religion.
