-We highly recommend never using bare timers and always using this mixin, it will save you from a lot of hard to track down bugs.
+We strongly discourage using the global `setTimeout(...)` and recommend instead that you use `this.setTimeout(...)` provided by react-timer-mixin. This will eliminate a lot of hard work tracking down bugs, such as crashes caused by timeouts firing after a component has been unmounted.
