I'm not sure that I'd say that it sounds all wrong so much as it's often
non-obvious how or when you can do it. In many cases, it requires reframing
the problem and/or looking at it differently, and that can be difficult.

I'd say that it's similar to designing APIs which can't be misused. It's
often impossible or impractical, but the closer that you can get to it, the
fewer problems you (or anyone else) is likely to run into when using that
API. But doing that is often not straightforward.
