It is just that doing so is considered 1) very bad style 2) (as in logic classes) evidence that you don't really understand what you are doing/saying 3) likely to get you into deep doo-doo in complicated cases. All of which are true. But none of these are reasons to dump {du}, just reasons to learn to use it (and the rest of the apparatus) correctly. Without {du} we can't do a large nuumber of things that any language, but especially a logical langauge, needs to do. |
