This philosophy is great "in theory".  The realities of practice are, of 
course, somewhat, if not entirely, different.

There "may" be a need to use this method due to deteriorating 
standoffs.  Perhaps one is making a repair that leaves the original 
device in place on top of the chassis for appearance, yet place a NEW 
component in the circuit.

Those that maintain this "stated" philosophical view are simply purists 
t hat do NOT deal with reality.
