Bad practice - Anyone else do this?

I was in me local paving suppliers, chatting to another guy who runs a company I often come up against in quotes. No animosity, we're both sensible about it and even help each other out now and again.
Anyway we got to chatting about using Flowpoint to joint with, he gave me a couple of tips, one useful, the other I reckon a bit dodgey. He reckons he now lays all his Paving Plumb Level, with no falls, because, it's more important that the Patio "Looks" right and the clients Furniture sits level than anything else..He feels that as the Stone he uses is Porous(?) its fine?
He then went on to show me photo's of work he'd done this way, including a couple of job's in slate and Limestone...Surely this is going to come back and bite his arse, especially come winter..I never said anything cos I might pick up the fixing work.

There is a fair bit of 'leading up the garden path' in the building trade. Some of its to do with seeing how much you know, some its a case of seeing if you take the bait.
All good fun really :;):

Ha ha, no Im really not in the working way ATM. Badly bad.

Just find it happens on site more than anywhere else. Falls speak for themselves, frost, puddles, algae etc. You will probably see that cowboy on a job in the future (on your rectifying for him)
