 Sorry, but this is not a convincing argument: Try googling for anything.
You will find someone arguing for it.

 Whatever philosophical objections you may have to this technique, it is
perfectly legal and is the best design possible in some (well known) cases.
This is one of them and wx already uses it in a few other cases.

 BTW, it's wxEVT_DESTROY, not wxEVT_CLOSE_WINDOW, which should be used. It
is definitely sent for all the windows and in well-defined order (that of
their destruction).
