Would you advocate never using Dark Side techniques, or are these techniques reasonable in some situations?, even though, once you become a real master at rationality, they have to be left behind.
(Before I studied the Dark Arts, truth was truth and lies were lies. While I studied the Dark Arts, truth was not truth and lies were not lies. After I studied the Dark Arts, truth was truth and lies were lies.)
Just a sidenote: studying is not the same as using. It is worth studying Dark Arts techniques so you recognize when other people are trying to use them against you.

True indeed. Although in this case, even the using would be using them on yourself.
