The point is not that you ALWAYS have issues, but that you CAN have issues - if you issue a command, even with the highest control chance possible, you still fail a command 1 out of 100 times (unless it is very low-minimum-skill). Bonding requires your pet to stay Wonderfully Happy then ENTIRE week. IF you fail that command, your pet is no longer wonderfully happy, and thus your pet will no longer bond immediately upon being fed.
I'm glad to hear you've never had an issue, but while you haven't, some people HAVE, and then they have to wait another week for the damnable pet to bond. Frankly, giving advice that risks a failed bonding process when it doesn't HELP the bonding process at all is silly. Why add even a rare confounding variable if it doesn't do anything except confound things?
