If done correctly..
Yes, similarly, if done correctly, landing a 737 at an Indonesian airport doesn't result in a charred hull off the end of the field.

"What they want"

Another great one. Fantastic, the training department gets together and discusses improvements to the system.

"Right, from now on we want VNAV/Managed approaches used as much as possible, no more of this FLCH/OPEN DESCENT stuff that requires those complex 3 x tables"

"Excellent idea fearless leader, so shall I draft the NTC/amendment to SOP, or perhaps we can publish a synopsis of the important issues discussed at the C+T meeting?"

"Don't be absurd Smithers, we shall go about telling them one at a time, and generally annotating it on such thing as ERAS reports and other career threatening documents. We shall use the expression, "What THEY want is..." as much as possible"

Now some may say that this sounds cynical, however the problem is...

Checker writes up a few non-descriptive comments regarding "what they want" events, and a blemish is created. Yes maybe he bought it up with the finest of intentions, however once it is on the ERAS, it can come back to bite. And yes Elroy, I am more than happy to give you a career interrupting example of this type of thing should you not believe it happens.
