To me it is more dangerous when they are implementing some system on their competition, but don't understand the inherent trade offs present; they just do it because they saw someone else do it. (Worst offenders of this, IMHO? Swerve Drive. Mecanum Wheels. West Coast Drive.)
I do like it when someone posts a design, mentions one of those generalities and is asked "WHY?" by someone else (Ether, you seem to be the one asking that a lot these days.)
