True, but this misses the "Letter of the law" versus the "Spirit of the law".

It might be worth mentioning that use of attach() is seen, to find one poor
analogy, pretty much like use of global variables these days. "Just because
you could does not mean you should".

See e.g. one of the first google hits for 'r do not use attach' here:
