Ways to bypass the lock and leave no evidence that the lock was bypassed are much worse.
When an ameteur picks a lock it is very easy to inspect the pins and see if they have been manipulated by something other than the key. I imagine that the rubber mallet technique leaves evidence of malicious manipulation behind.
