1.) "You shouldn't do it"
2.) "Here's how to do it"
3.) "You shouldn't do it because of x, but here's how to do it if you

When someone asks a difficult question on here, they tend to get about
half a dozen 1's followed by a 2, then some more 1's. Ideally people
would just respond with 3's.
The poster was already aware that 1, but wanted to know how to 2.
