Maybe people will get the idea that it's okay to get enraged at every little thing because you have a nice safe outlet for it. Maybe those techniques actually condition you to get angry more often. Or what if it becomes a crutch and you find yourself in a situation where you can't use your outlet?
The technique you describe seems much more reasonable, but also more difficult.
The beauty of Sedona is that you don't even need to channel emotions as such... no screaming out, punching bags etc... 
It's getting back to the original post - "being at peace with discomfort".
For me, I feel anger far less if anything. It's more a case of accepting these feelings, and just letting it go... I know this all sounds esoteric and hard to define, but one technique might work for one person, while useless for another.... I tried EFT, but didn't get a whole lot from it, while Sedona was life-changing. Then again, lots of people swear by EFT and that's cool.
Another thing to be aware of when crapping on about Sedona and other techniques is to avoid preaching and sounding like I'm a better person for doing this.... that's the ego at work too...
