is it really that cut and dry? random example:

http://okmij.org/ftp/Computation/dynamic-binding.html

my point would be that there are some things which are not to be used
all the time, but maybe are useful sometimes, in the right context.
and of course: different strokes for different folks (usability has a
significant component of subjectivity, imho, even though i've recently
been told otherwise by important people -- but i suspect that comes
down to semantics).

sincerely.
