It also looks bad.
So it can cause back pain? That would be a great reason to avoid it, to me.
Honestly, I don't care how something
looks. I'm wondering if this could be an example of an old concept that people accept as being true, just because it's always been taught. Kind of like the old batting tip that you still hear yelled out to young hitters from their dads, "Keep your weight back!" Bad advice, but it still gets repeated generation after generation.
