No way coming from a powerlifting experience can you think that dropping them out is sufficient. Doing so will almost 100% lead to problems.

I said that there is nothign wrong with working out certain muscle groups harder than others not eliminating muscle groups entirely.
Not everyone wants to be 5'10" 200+ pounds of solid muscle. As someone who is 5'10" 200 pounds it gets very old trying to find an off-the-rack 46r suit that fits my thighs (27-28") and my waist (34"). The older I get, the more I concern myself with increasing my overall health rather than muscle mass.
Again, your advice wasn't incorrect, but it's not always the best approach for everyone.
