I will concur *much* more vehemently.  I have, within my natural
lifetime, seen modems 'just die' because someone was silly enough to
configure a *program* to send write commands.  Even today, so far as I
know, you can smoke an EEPROM in about 10,000 cycles; you can
accomplish that in 3 or 4 *months* with some software.  &F, fine.  &W,
uh uh, no way.
