Isn't "wrong" a bit harsh? Will his application crash if he does it that
way? Don't just tell us it is wrong if it is that big of an issue, give us
the skinny details! If another method is much better, then it ought to be
expressed that way. You are a skilled developer, but you should still
explain why you believe what you believe. If you don't we go down the MVC
road again! MVC is not hard to explain for those who understand it.... but
to show the advantage is much harder. The same is likely true here, explain
why you feel the way you do... then we can get the book if we need to go
deeper.
