The flaw is that it's like setting your house on fire because it's cold outside. It may well achieve your goal in the short term, but it won't last, and it's just going to make things much worse in the longer term.

I don't think it's helpful to reply to a specific, well-phrased question with a general analogy. Why is it like that?

It's like when the media would interview Robert de Niro on Trump, and all he would say is variants of "Well, he's an asshole!"
