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.
