Troubled install rebuttal

Someone (One of the MVPs ) wrote that disabling the
system restore during uninstall would not be a good idea.
While I agree with that in a general sense, There are some
cases where it does work. These are failed installs, failed
uninstalls, and cases where the install of a previously
removed program installs the previous file, which remains
just as troubled as the original. In the third case the SR
will need to be turned off during uninstall (and removal of
program references in registry). Restart. Reinstall . Re
enable SR.

I've tried the SR approach multiple times with success each
time.

In Romans 1 there are qualities of Unregenerate man listed
which describe him in the last days.
Is your quality found on this list??

I'm sorry but there is no reasoning or logic to support your statement
that system restore should be disabled when uninstalling a product. Your
statement suggests it possible that you do not understand the working of
system restore. System Restore will not prevent any of the operations you
mention.
