My 2 cents.

you never ruined it it was probably gummed up to the point that the rings were seized and the bore was feked due to not having the proper engine oil changes, not to mention the gumming in the big ends etc.etc. this happens a lot and the result is usually an engine that starts to spew black smoke out the exhaust and knock like a police man at the door as the gumming was the only thing keeping it oil tight so the end user blames the flush. so yes a warning is in order.. dont flush old uncared for engines.
but as you say prevention is better than cure.
