I rather like it, but it's often avoided (along with the ensuing debate) with careful sentence construction, to the point where people see it so rarely nowadays that they automatically assume it must be a mistake. Which just leads to more writers choosing to avoid it. As I probably should've done when I gave Lain that line.
