I disagree. It is maybe better for the author or you as a beginner, but not everyone. One needs data to support claims like that.
Identically the same person, at different times, is confused by what seems like pointless extra apparatus, and, later, embraces it as solving a problem they have come, after experience, to recognize.
"One needs data" is, in this context, nothing better than meaningless bluster.
Conversation is mean to have a deliver and receive end, both side can have problems. "you miss the point" kind of push all the responsibility to the listener. But why you have such a strong confidence about your expression?
