If they were not then they wouldn't be the biggest flowering plant family there is. Let's be a little more realistic here. You are comparing cutting orchid roots to murdering someone! That is ridiculous!!
All my orchid books recommend cutting the old leafless stem off when repotting a monopodial orchid that is growing that way. I didn't make that technique up I learned it while reading about orchids. I'm not someone that just bought their first orchid and doesn't know anything about them. I have been growing orchids for years and I am not the only one that has said that this is a perfectly fine thing to do. Everyone has their own way of growing orchids. If you don't like my way then don't grow your plants like I do.
