Don't underestimate the enormous amount of arse-covering that goes on in this industry. If someone in the manufacturer, FAA, CASA, etc can point to "I said that X might be a problem", then they feel safer - even though there may be good reasons to do X under some (or even many) circumstances.
The important thing is that we consider and evaluate pluses and minuses in situ ... avoiding anything potentially linked to a minus does not lead to competent pilots or good training.
