That's a good idea. I will tell them this.

I agree it's not "incorrect", but other examples to be found a lot in  
beginners code
is stuff like 1.0.rand or if(a > b, {}), etc, insides synthDefs.

I guess the problem is not that of software design (server/language) but
how to teach it. Or a bit of both...?
