On the first hand, when you have only a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

  ...And maybe those objecting believe the task you've addressed is a screw (or maybe you do have other tools, readily at hand).

OTOH, when searching for wildlife in Kansas, you're not likely to succeed if you're focused solely on giraffes.

So, on the proverbial third hand, you may be getting the "yeuchs" from folks who can't get past the "separate" meme (and, as this reply suggests, this 'umble pilgrim is NOT convinced that meme deserves the status of Gospel).

For my money, aside from my trivial concern (YMMV) about excessive indenting, (and without testing it, tho I don't see a problem, "off hand,") your sample is acceptable if it does the job.
