Only if the speaker insists on always being right. I don't. I'm sorry if I was a little too laconic... If you change "is" to "can be" then I'm OK with the statement, since I believe that pretty much any technology or practice can cause problems when mis-applied. I prefer, however, to ask, "under what circumstances are XML Schemas beneficial, and when can Schemas (of any kind) sensibly be used as a design aid at or near the start of a project? What factors lead to success and what factors lead to problems?"
