There are plenty. I'm one of them. JM also said one of her buyers had problems. Clint Boyer and Kathy Love are other people who have also seen bad things happen.
I believe that there is a significant and clear difference between saying that experienced keepers can do so with success, versus telling newbies that there are no problems as long as you feed them separately.
It helps a lot to be able to "read" them. Newbies are not familiar with their language, or the subtle signs of stress. Additionally, they have enough other issues to deal with and a lot of other things to learn before trying to worry about other things.
One very simple point is that the chances of two of them stressing/eating each other when housed separately is zero. This is something that newbies should consider.
I think too many people get caught up in trying to win, and prove how experienced they are, yadda yadda yadda, and forget that the point was to give the person asking as much information about it as possible so that they could make an informed decision. Kathy's write-ups that she posted are very good in that way: they present all considerations and convey a wise sense of caution about it.
