Of course not. The road to boredom is paved with adverbs. The road to hell is paved with lousy diction. I cannot tell you how books I read today that mistake discreet for discrete, and vice versa, etc. I was a newsroom copy editor for more years than I care to admit to, and stumbling over diction bloopers these days just makes me want to whip out my pica pole and do some hard pounding on someone's skull. If you don't know what a pica pole is, you are probably too young to care much about proper word usage. The road to tyranny is paved with poor language comprehension. Double plus ungood and all that.
King’s On Writing is one of the greats… however I fervently disagree that the road to hell is paved with adverbs 🤣
