Sometimes, rather than explain all the issues (and there are many!) that 
you will encounter trying this method, I think it is better to just give 
someone the tools (with a warning), and let them discover all the 
problems for themselves. People are often set in their ways to trying to 
achieve something, and the only way to convince them that it is not good 
practice is to give them the tools to attempt it, and let them discover 
why it doesn't work as they expected.
