I got this all of yesterday because we are having some sleeping issues with DS having been sick a lot lately. So I was getting some lavender from the chemist and got the whole kit and kaboodle of 'advice'. I said that I don't think the short-term problem of not sleeping justifies the long term psychological damage of controlled crying.

Of course I understand if others make the choice to do it, especially when you are at your ends limit. We all have a limit in how much we can take after all.
