I said unwise not inefficient.

Globbing is a security and reliability hole. You don't ever really know what got included or will get included, you just assume you do, and you are right only most of the time and only by luck not by actually ensuring it.

Saying things like "only the files I expect should ever be in this dir" is just wrong swiss cheese thinking. (you never said that, but another commenter essentially did)
