In most cases you're right, but if the Finder is busy enough there's a
chance that it will actually time out. This isn't theory; I've had to rework
scripts to get around the problem.
Moreover, the sample uses a call to a scripting addition inside the tell
block. Again, the difference in a single call might be imperceptible, but
the release notes are pretty clear that that's an inefficient thing to do.
I don't see it as a bad thing to point those things out.
