@saagar Playing devils's advocate a bit: it may be the case that you can increment a variable by using butterfly wings to deflect incoming cosmic rays, but I don't understand cosmic rays, and it's easier to write `i++`. Learning something you don't understand is often harder than just implementing something you do, so if you're trying to just get stuff done, saying "please use this solution which I know will work" isn't necessarily bad advice.

@saagar Mind, I'm perfectly aware of all the ways this leads to madness. "Just use this library" leading to endless layers of abstraction, for example.
