If you see someone pounding nails into his dick and when you ask what he's trying to do, he says "I'm building a house". It is fair to tell him that he's doing it wrong. That his proposed method will not get him any closer to a house than he already is. It does not matter that you are not also trying to build a house. It does not matter that you are not going to build him a house.
Knowing what will not work is important. And just because there is no proposed alternative does not mean we should keep doing the thing we know won't work. Especially when the thing we know won't work might even exacerbate the problem it is trying to solve. Sometimes, nothing is the right thing to do.
