That technique is no longer acceptable, If you have marked rods polish those marks away and don't leave any new marks.
The analogy about how glass is cut is 100% right. I remember watching an automotive machine shop tech doing that back in the 60's and I thought it didn't seem like a good idea but I was young and not going to challenge him.
