Because your code will become very verbose and you'll end up 
casting shared away to do stuff.

Basically you won't be able to do anything that isn't in a 
synchronized context and such your code will either have 
synchronized everywhere or you'll cast away shared.

Personally I never use shared, because it's just such a bother.
