It's rather like the old CB reset attitude.
A CB pops - "give in two minutes cooling, then reset it". Remember that?
Then there were lots of fires when the CB's failed the second time, or when overheated wiring caught fire on second power application.
Now the policy is - "it popped for a reason, don't tempt fate".
The CB's have been removed from the cockpits of Airbus a/c.
Yet we are told to reset a hydraulic pump after an overheat for unknown cause.

In an extreme emergency you may have no choice.

In a stabilised scenario, why risk a fire or further damage?
