-If you are using `String` concatenation while logging, you are doing something very wrong and dangerous!
-
-* [ ] Don't use `String` concatenation to format arguments!
-This circumvents the handling of arguments by message type and layout.
-More importantly, **this approach is prone to attacks!**
-Imagine `userId` being provided by the user with the following content:
-`placeholders for non-existing args to trigger failure: {} {} \{dangerousLookup}`
+* [ ] Don't use `String` concatenation to format arguments:
+the log message will be formatted, even if the logger is not enabled, and you will suffer a performance penalty!
