I agree with you entirely. One can argue the point with children so as
to give them something to think about.

Except (imho) in instances when a quick deterrent would be infinitely
better such as when the child starts to run out in the road without
looking or waves a knife around or pokes something into a socket, or
starts lighting matches, etc, then you have no time to stand and debate
the point, sometimes it's necessary to just stop the behaviour.
