I had a similar dispute with one guy here before also that offered such advice. It's not about giving a break or not, it's about the false sense of security, that i feel is far worse then if someone didn't have things outlined in the above text. With false sense of security, you feel nothing can touch you, even when you show people proof, they just repeat steps above and think "OK, check, all is good", or forward it to people that wrote them the above steps thinking they can fix the shit, when they can't. I feel that's far worse.
