I'm not saying your right or wrong, you have your opion and i have mine. The point is why would you want to over clock a proccessor that can handle 99.9%(if not 100%) of all applications without a problem. And this is not a cheap processor. If he was you, yes fine overclock, but if he hasnt been overclocking CPU's for a couple of years and know excactly what to do, its not worth trying and doing something wrong, and ending up with a fried CPU!
