Telling someone how to solve a problem in frames is not encouraging
frames. You think so because of a hysterical view of the matter (that it
is like advising someone how best to shoot oneself in the foot but not
to do too much damage).
And the other bit is particularly weak, there are always better ways to
do most things.
