I totally agree, that's way I stated that I wouldn't recommended it. Most of the time when you're ready to delve into this unknown realm, It should be a personal choice with proper education and respect. Most of the time when it's a personal choice it's because you feel it's the right time for yourself and not because cool-kids or some random stranger said so. It's some strange inner calling and mysterious curiosity that draws you into.
I've personally found them to be useful after I've already gained the knowledge to make a significant change, and the trip can help to actualize the understanding of how that knowledge fits into the greater world as a whole. They should definitely be paired with vigorous and passionate pursuit of real world knowledge during the rest of your life, for the best effect, in my opinion.
