More specifically, it is unintended external references that can hurt you. Sometimes the external reference really is your design intent. The CAD program shouldn't make your life hard to recover from the former or enable the latter.
I don't know SW, but Creo lets you control (warn or outright prevent) the creation of external references. Also there is visibility into the references you have created. SW may have similar features, I don't know.
