In the case of regexps its of course not considered bad practice to
write "^foo$" many times in a program, so nobody is to blame here, but
the issue is the same as writing (message "What a wonderful world") many
times in a program and then entering a depressed state.
Would have been better to write (message "What a %s world"
current-world-view) ...
